Sharon Boyd, BACP, NCPS

Sharon Boyd is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, jealousy, grief and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, low mood, stress and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Sharon aims to make the first steps easier with a warm and welcoming approach.

She follows a Client-Centred style, offering space to talk and to be heard. Sharon listens without judgement and works alongside clients to make sense of what they are feeling. Her goal is to help people notice what matters to them and to find practical ways forward.

Sharon brings seven years of practice to her work and adheres to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also holds NCPS, which she uses to guide her professional practice. These credentials shape how she approaches ethical and professional care.

In sessions Sharon focuses on the person in front of her rather than fitting people to a method. She draws on Solution-Focused techniques when useful, helping clients set small, realistic steps and build on strengths. Conversations typically aim to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity about next steps.

Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, parenting pressures, career changes and compassion fatigue are commonly part of the work. Sharon writes plainly and listens closely so that people can notice change and try new ways of coping between meetings.

How Sharon's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person time and respectful listening. The counsellor reflects what is said and supports people to discover their own answers. This approach helps when someone needs space to process grief, loneliness or relationship worries.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions. It asks what already works and how to do more of it, which can suit people who want clear goals for issues like stress, sleep or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts methods as needs become clearer.

Please check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use a quieter place or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage better.
