About Garon
Garon Sheppard is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and loss. He also supports those dealing with depression, anger, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. Garon lists a particular interest in men's issues and life transitions, and he works with people coping with trauma, bereavement and the effects of substance use.
Garon draws on nine years of counselling experience combined with sixteen years of work in addictions, homelessness and housing sectors. He uses person-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and dialectical approaches. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also shape his practice, and he mixes these to suit the person in front of him.
His style is down-to-earth and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client - reducing intense feelings, improving communication, and building practical tools for daily life. He encourages small, manageable steps that fit into busy routines.
Garon holds NCPS as a credential, which is presented as NCPS in his profile. He describes experience helping people through addiction recovery, grief, midlife issues and the strains of work in high-pressure roles such as first responder contexts.
Sessions are offered in English and Garon practices in the United Kingdom. The listing notes that international clients are not currently accepted. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the person's pace to build trust and clarity, which can help with grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. It is practical and structured, and can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress by teaching new ways to respond to difficult situations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best, based on needs, goals and preferences. That decision can be reviewed as the work progresses.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. The listing includes online counselling as a stated offering, but other formats mentioned in the original biography should be confirmed before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT homework to an online setting to keep work practical and goal-focused.
