Sharon Boyd
Person-centred counsellor with a practical focus
About Sharon
Sharon Boyd helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety and stress. She also supports concerns around eating, sleeping, parenting, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sharon works with midlife and women's issues, career worries, and compassion fatigue.
She uses a client-centred way of working. That means she listens without judgement and follows the person's lead. She draws on solution-focused techniques to help people set clear goals and try practical steps between sessions.
Background and approach
Sharon brings seven years of counselling experience to her practice. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS, which are listed as her credentials. She follows the BACP code of ethics in her practice.
In sessions she aims to create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Conversations are straightforward and kind. People can expect time to talk, space to reflect, and help to find small, manageable changes that feel right for them.
Sharon offers appointments in the United Kingdom and works in English. Therapy can address long-term difficulties and shorter-term problems such as coping with bereavement, separation, illness-related stress, ageing concerns and family problems. She helps people explore feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness and issues such as infidelity and jealousy.
To begin, Sharon asks people to share what matters most to them and then she works alongside them to shape the sessions. The focus is practical and person-led, with attention to both understanding feelings and finding useful ways forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Sharon uses client-centred work to make online sessions feel collaborative and compassionate. That approach focuses on listening, accepting the person's experience and following their priorities so they feel heard and understood. It is helpful for grief, low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.She also draws on solution-focused therapy to break concerns into manageable goals. This method concentrates on what the person wants to change and on practical steps they can try between sessions. It suits people who want brief, goal-oriented work and clear ways to track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then shape sessions around those needs. Decisions about pace, techniques and between-session tasks are made collaboratively so the plan fits the person's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when face-to-face style conversations matter, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life for people in the United Kingdom.
