About Sharon

Sharon Matharu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds NCPS, which indicates registration with a recognised professional body. Sharon aims to make approaching therapy feel straightforward and manageable for people under stress.

Sharon draws on person-centred principles to build a respectful, non-judgemental space. She listens first and follows the pace that suits each person. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps that can help day to day.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes that can shift those patterns. Mindfulness approaches help clients notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Sharon works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and parenting worries.

She also offers support around self-esteem, career challenges and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi and can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sharon’s style is practical and compassionate, aiming to help people find clearer ways to cope and to plan realistic next steps.

Online support

How her approaches work online and in-session

Sharon uses person-centred work that focuses on understanding each person's experience. That approach means sessions start with listening so clients feel heard, and goals are set around what matters most to them.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive thinking because it links thoughts, feelings and actions in clear ways.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will discuss options and adapt techniques to fit the client’s needs and preferences, adjusting pace and methods as trust builds.

Online therapy lets people choose formats that fit their life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting and other commitments.
