Garon Sheppard, NCPS

Garon Sheppard is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has nine years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes.

Garon draws on a mix of approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour methods. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can use day to day. Conversations aim to identify patterns, try out new responses and reduce the moments where anger or frustration takes over.

He also brings lived experience from time spent supporting people with addiction and homelessness. That background shapes a pragmatic style that values honesty and steady effort. Expect direct discussion of triggers and routines that keep problems in place, followed by small experiments to test different ways of coping.

Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas add depth when needed. Mindfulness offers short practices to calm the body and notice impulses. Psychodynamic thinking helps surface recurring themes from earlier relationships that influence current reactions.

Garon offers coaching-style work for people wanting concrete life changes as well as longer therapeutic exploration. He encourages straightforward goal-setting and regular review so progress can be tracked. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange the first session.
