Sharon Boyd , BACP, NCPS

Sharon Boyd is a counsellor who focuses on women's issues and a wide range of life challenges. She brings seven years of experience and works in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS standards. People meet her for help with anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and career pressures.

Sharon uses a client-centred style that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions aim to give space to talk, to be listened to, and to make sense of what is happening now. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help identify small, practical steps that move things forward between sessions.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sharon offers careful listening, gentle questioning and practical suggestions when they suit the person. She encourages people to notice strengths they already have and to try simple changes that can relieve stress and improve sleep, eating or daily routines.

Sharon has worked with concerns linked to ageing and cancer, bereavement and hospice matters, separation and infidelity, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. She aims to support people through big life transitions and the slow wear of ongoing pressures.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered from the United Kingdom. Sharon follows BACP and NCPS guidance in her practice and tries to make those first steps into counselling as straightforward as possible.

How Sharon's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and giving people the time and space to speak about what matters most. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects feelings and helps them make sense of their experience, which can suit anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is already working and builds on small, practical changes. It aims to set clear, achievable goals and identify simple steps people can try between sessions to reduce stress and improve daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or as needs shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping the therapeutic relationship consistent and focused.
