Sharon Boyd, BACP, NCPS

Sharon Boyd helps people navigate relationship strain, grief, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She supports concerns such as stress, parenting pressures, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and career worries. Sharon also focuses on compassion fatigue, ageing and geriatric issues, cancer, divorce and separation, and end-of-life matters.

Sharon works in a warm, approachable way that puts the person first. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen openly and to follow what matters most to each individual. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps people can try between sessions.

With seven years of experience, Sharon blends steady listening with straightforward goals. Sessions are about clear, manageable change rather than jargon. She aims to give space to talk, to gently challenge unhelpful patterns, and to help people find ways forward that fit their life.

Sharon is registered with BACP and NCPS and follows the BACP code of ethics. She offers online work in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Practical details such as session format and scheduling are discussed when someone gets in touch.

Her style is caring and respectful, with emphasis on each person’s strengths. She encourages realistic first steps and keeps plans simple. Many people come for help when life feels overwhelming, and she focuses on making those early steps feel achievable.

Client-centred and solution-focused online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding and acceptance. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people explore what matters most to them, which can be useful for issues like low mood, grief and self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and small changes that make a difference quickly, which suits people hoping for clear goals and manageable actions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working that fit those needs. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel useful from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility around work, caring responsibilities and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when that is helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life and to keep therapy consistent over time.
