About Sharon
Sharon Boyd is a counsellor with seven years of experience who helps people with everyday struggles. She works with anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and low mood. Sharon aims to make first steps easier for people who feel unsure about starting therapy.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. That means she listens without judgement and follows the pace that feels right for the client.
Background and approach
Sharon also uses solution-focused techniques to help people spot practical steps and small changes that make a difference. Sessions involve open conversation about what is happening now and what a person would like to change. Sharon gives space to name difficult feelings and then helps people try out new ways of coping.
She emphasises understanding, warmth and a straightforward, caring style. Her work covers many everyday concerns including sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, parenting stress, career worries, anger and compassion fatigue. Sharon also supports people facing major life events such as divorce, bereavement, cancer care and end-of-life matters.
Sharon is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with NCPS. She follows the BACP code of ethics in her practice and offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom.
Approaches that suit online counselling and practical life goals
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to build trust through careful listening and empathy. It helps people name their feelings and decide what matters most to them in their life and relationships.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and clearer goals. It suits people who want to try practical steps and track progress between sessions, such as improving sleep, easing anxiety or managing day-to-day stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and which methods feel most helpful. The choice of techniques is a collaborative decision that can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a deeper conversational flow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflective notes or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while using the approaches above to work on clear goals.
