Sharon Matharu

Sharon Matharu is a counsellor who has practised for four years in the United Kingdom and brings a background in teaching to her work. She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings to sessions. Sharon holds NCPS, which is shown as her credential. Her style is warm and practical. She aims to create an open space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and grief without feeling judged. Conversations are shaped around the client, and Sharon adapts her approach to suit individual needs. Sharon draws on several methods in her day-to-day practice. These include client-centred techniques, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to help with depression, self-esteem, eating and intimacy-related worries. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, parenting strain, career changes and coping with life transitions. She works with specific issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family concerns, body image and codependency. Divorce and separation are also listed among the areas she addresses. Sharon also mentions work related to ageing and autism and Asperger syndrome as part of her broader practice. People who contact her can expect straightforward, adaptable guidance and tools to try between sessions. She encourages small, practical steps and tailors conversation and strategies to what feels most useful. Sharon aims to help people build clearer ways of coping and moving forward.

Practical therapy methods and online support

Sharon uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the person says so they feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs time to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers steps to try that can reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Sharon treats approach choice as collaborative and will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, needs and preferences. She adapts techniques and the pace of work so people can test tools in their everyday life and feed back what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try exercises in the environment where difficulties actually arise, which can support practical problem solving and habit change.
