About Sharon

Sharon Matharu is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and depression, and also works with issues like trauma, grief, LGBT concerns and parenting.

Sharon uses person-centred approaches alongside cognitive behavioural methods and solution-focused ideas. She keeps sessions practical and direct, helping people name what is worrying them and try manageable steps to feel steadier.

In conversation she aims to be open and non-judgemental. Sharon listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviours, and then offers straightforward tools to try between meetings. Those tools may include thought-challenging, short experiments and simple mindfulness practices.

She also draws on listening and mentoring experience from many years of teaching. That background shapes how she explains ideas and supports someone to practise new ways of coping outside sessions.

Sharon often works with issues linked to family and relationships, including communication problems, attachment and separation. She also helps with practical problems such as career decisions, eating concerns and anger, and with longer-term themes like abandonment, body image and codependency.

Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Sharon combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and solution-focused techniques. Person-centred work means the conversation begins by following what matters most to the client and building a steady dialogue. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-focused methods concentrate on practical steps and short-term goals to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will discuss what you want from sessions and try different techniques to see what helps. She checks in about what is working and adapts the plan based on your goals and preferences.

The practical benefits of remote work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. The original biography does not specify available session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online appointments in ways that make it easier to keep regular sessions while balancing family, work and other commitments.
