Sharon Boyd, BACP, NCPS

Sharon Boyd is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship stress, grief, anxiety and low mood. She also helps with parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career changes and coping with life transitions. Sharon brings seven years of hands-on experience and works from a person-centred stance to make conversations feel natural and focused.

Sharon uses Client-Centred Therapy to offer listening, reflection and acceptance. She combines that with Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Her aim is to create a calm space where people can talk without being rushed and start to notice what changes help.

Her background includes registration with BACP and NCPS, and she follows the BACP codes of ethics. Sharon has worked with common and complex concerns such as intimacy issues, bereavement, compassion fatigue and midlife challenges. She also pays attention to ageing and geriatric issues and to the emotional needs that arise in end-of-life situations.

Sessions are framed around the person in front of her, not around labels. Sharon offers a caring, encouraging presence and will help set goals that feel realistic. She values each person’s strengths and supports them in finding their own solutions.

Many people come to Sharon when life feels overwhelming or stuck. She aims to help them find clearer thinking, small practical changes and a sense of forward movement. If someone wants to begin, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and a trial session to see how it feels.

How Sharon's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what someone says, asks gentle questions and helps the person hear their own thoughts more clearly. This approach can help with low mood, grief and relationship difficulties.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps that move a situation forward. Sessions use goal-focused questions and small experiments to try between meetings. This works well for stress, coping with life changes and building new habits.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapy itself. Sharon works collaboratively to agree what to try first, and adapts the plan as progress is made and priorities change. The aim is to match methods to the person’s needs and preferences rather than impose a single style.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can also use remote work to keep continuity of support when life is unpredictable.
