About Garon
Garon Sheppard is a counsellor registered with NCPS with nine years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and bipolar issues. He also helps people coping with life changes and offers coaching support.
Garon draws on practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness in straightforward ways. Sessions focus on short-term goals, problem-solving and building everyday skills to manage feelings and reactions.
He has long experience related to addiction, homelessness and housing work alongside nine years of counselling practice. That background shapes a direct, recovery-oriented approach that emphasises clear steps and realistic planning. Garon also works with issues linked to attachment, communication and control, and with concerns such as divorce, domestic violence and drug and alcohol problems.
Practical topics he addresses include first responder issues, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counselling, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, men's issues, midlife crisis and veteran or armed forces issues. Sessions are held in English and international clients are not accepted.

How his approaches translate to online work
Garon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred methods and aspects of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce distress and change behaviours. Client-centred work emphasises listening and helping people find their own solutions through reflective dialogue. DBT adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative selection can change as progress is reviewed and new challenges arise.
The biography notes online counselling as a practice option, but it also lists local walk-and-talk work; confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. They also let people continue work between in-person meetings if that suits their schedule. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements when you book so sessions fit everyday life without assuming a particular format.
