Garon Sheppard , NCPS

Garon Sheppard combines clinical training with lived experience to support people facing anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship challenges, and major life changes. He brings nine years of counselling experience alongside a sixteen-year background working in the addictions, homelessness, and housing sectors, which informs a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to recovery and personal growth.

Having navigated addiction, homelessness, and bereavement himself, Garon draws on personal insight as well as formal methods to help clients build resilience and practical coping strategies. He works with issues including stress, depression, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, family and relationship difficulties, and problems linked to control, attachment, and communication.

Garon is registered with NCPS and is listed as an accredited registrant (MNCPS (Acc.)), and he is recognised as an Anxiety UK Approved Counsellor - credentials that reflect professional registration and accreditation. His practice integrates client-centered listening with evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and he includes mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives where appropriate.

Services include online counselling, walk-and-talk therapy in Witney, Burford, Carterton and wider Oxfordshire, Reiki healing, and mindfulness practices. Sessions are tailored to individual needs so clients move at a comfortable pace toward clearer coping tools, greater self-awareness, and practical steps for change.
