About Sharon
Sharon Boyd helps people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, low mood and parenting stress. She also supports those dealing with life changes, career worries, self-esteem problems and compassion fatigue. Sharon is introduced by name so readers know who they are meeting.
She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has seven years' experience in practice. Her sessions aim to be warm and straightforward. Sharon offers time to talk and to be heard without rush.
Background and approach
She focuses on what matters to each person and looks for practical steps that fit everyday life. Sharon works mainly using client-centred principles. That means she listens carefully and follows the client’s lead while offering reflections that help make things clearer.
She also uses solution-focused ideas when helpful, so sessions can include achievable short-term goals and small experiments to try between meetings. She has dealt with a wide range of concerns including intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, ageing and geriatric issues, cancer, divorce and separation, domestic violence, end-of-life matters and women’s issues.
Sharon combines empathy with practical direction to help people move forward. Sharon follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sharon works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to choose what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so sessions stay relevant to what the person wants to achieve.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options with the service before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering alternatives when being on camera is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques from client-centred and solution-focused work for remote sessions to keep the focus on listening and practical steps.
