About Sharon

Sharon Boyd works with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, stress and anxiety, low mood and related life changes using a person-centred way of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience in counselling.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy and elements of Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice what matters to them. Sessions are practical and conversational. Sharon listens and reflects and helps clients focus on small steps that make a difference.

Sharon has supported people through bereavement, divorce and separation, illness such as cancer, and end-of-life concerns. She also works with issues around parenting, anger, self-esteem, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career-related stress. Her practice includes addressing compassion fatigue and midlife challenges.

In a session she encourages people to describe what is happening and what they want to change. Work can include exploring feelings, trying out different ways of coping, and setting simple, achievable goals. The emphasis is on the client's own views and choices.

Sharon follows the BACP code of ethics and uses NCPS accreditation as part of her professional profile. She offers counselling in English in the United Kingdom and asks prospective clients to confirm practical session details before booking.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without directing and reflects back what the client says, which can help with issues such as low mood, relationships and self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. It suits people who want clear goals and short-term work to tackle stress, coping, or specific relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss what feels most useful in early sessions, and she will help the client decide whether to focus on exploring feelings or setting concrete steps. This is done together with attention to the person's preferences and aims.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow for different session lengths or check-ins where needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their style to suit quieter surroundings, shorter breaks at work, or when someone prefers not to use video.
