Sharon Gunnell, NCPS

Sharon Gunnell, NCPS, offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She creates a warm, person-centred space where people can say what they need to say. Conversations aim to rebuild confidence and steadiness in day-to-day life.

Her practice is straightforward and down to earth. Sharon listens without judging and helps people notice what matters most to them. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods to help people reduce avoidance and act in line with their values.

Sharon often supports people dealing with trauma, bereavement and the strain of long-term illness or caregiving. She also works with those navigating midlife transitions, pregnancy and childbirth changes, and concerns around ageing and cancer. Practical coping strategies are mixed with gentle reflection to make small, steady changes.

Sessions focus on simple skills and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Sharon helps people practise new ways of responding to difficult feelings. She encourages realistic steps that fit into busy lives and care responsibilities.

Sharon has three years of experience and holds NCPS, which appears as her listed credential. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions, which can help with anxiety, grief and decisions about work or caregiving.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflects what matters to the person, which can help when processing loss, trauma or long-term illness.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sharon will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques to fit what a person needs and the pace they want to take.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, appointments and work. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, and make regular contact more practical while people try new coping strategies.
