About Sharon
Sharon Matharu is a counsellor who brings four years of professional practice to her work. She uses a person-centred stance to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strain and challenges around self-esteem. Sharon is listed with the NCPS, which is shown as her credential.
Her background includes many years of teaching alongside her counselling practice, and she has supported people facing depression, grief, trauma and abuse. She also addresses concerns linked to parenting, career changes, eating and intimacy-related issues. Sharon draws on a mix of counselling approaches so she can tailor conversations to each person's needs.
In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Conversations are adjusted to fit what a person is trying to achieve, whether that means practical strategies or time to reflect. She mentions using cognitive behavioural techniques alongside person-centred methods and solution-focused ideas.
Sharon also works with people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body-image and control issues, codependency and family-of-origin problems. She supports those navigating separation, domestic violence aftermath and ageing issues, adapting the way she works to each situation.
She offers guidance, tools and conversational space to help people take the next steps. If someone wants to explore life changes or improve coping, Sharon aims to collaborate on clear, manageable goals and steady progress.
How therapeutic approaches shape online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so a person can make sense of their feelings and decide next steps. This approach helps when someone needs time to be heard and to build confidence in their own choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short-term strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problem patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That discussion guides how sessions are structured and what techniques are tried over time.
For online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare or study. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let people choose a quieter environment and avoid being on camera if they prefer. Consider which practical arrangements will suit your routine and mention them when you start the process so sessions can be arranged accordingly.
