Sharon Gunnell, NCPS

Sharon Gunnell, NCPS, helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She offers a calm, welcoming space to talk about difficult feelings and life changes. Her approach is straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to build resilience and clearer ways to cope with day-to-day demands.

Sharon works in a person-centred way, matching the style to each person’s needs. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. Sessions often focus on small, workable steps rather than big, daunting fixes.

Sharon supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, caregiving strain, pain and end-of-life concerns alongside anxiety and bereavement. She helps those wrestling with midlife shifts, family communication problems, guilt or isolation. The work can include practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily routines.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Sharon listens, reflects, and offers exercises people can try between meetings. She aims to help clients reclaim a clearer sense of purpose and steady coping when life feels overwhelming.

Based in the United Kingdom, Sharon has three years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. She works with adults on challenges such as career change, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and young adult concerns. If someone is unsure where to begin, she uses short assessments to shape the first sessions and set achievable goals.

How Sharon uses ACT and person‑centred work online

Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect what matters to them. ACT often helps with anxiety, ongoing health issues and low mood by focusing on values and small steps forward. Client‑Centred Therapy is about listening carefully and following the client’s pace, creating space to talk through grief, guilt or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. It can also help people continue sessions while managing long‑term illness or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly adapt exercises and pacing to suit each person's daily life and practical needs.
