About Sharon
Counsellor Sharon Matharu is registered with NCPS and has four years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem and other common difficulties.
Sharon uses person-centred ways of working and draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques. She offers practical conversations aimed at clarifying what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions tend to concentrate on what is happening now and what can be changed next.
She has a long background in teaching, which shapes how she explains things and how she structures sessions. That experience also supports work around career challenges, motivation and coping with life changes. Sharon lists experience with trauma and abuse, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues as part of her practice.
Sharon speaks English and Punjabi. She describes a style that attends to feelings while also looking for small steps that make a difference. She helps with communication problems, attachment and body image concerns as well as complex family of origin issues.
Practical matters are part of the sessions. She uses question-based assessments to identify goals and then reviews progress together. Clients are invited to name what they want to work on and to set the pace for change.
How Sharon uses her approaches in online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on the person rather than labels. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens carefully and reflects what she hears. This approach can help when someone wants to understand their feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses short exercises and practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. This method is often used for anxiety, low mood and problem-solving around daily life. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. The work involves identifying clear goals and noticing what already helps. It can be useful when someone wants brief, goal-oriented support. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and will adapt methods to suit their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals and progress are reviewed together. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical options to help people keep therapy consistent with daily routines.Areas of expertise
