Sharon Boyd

Sharon Boyd is a warm, friendly counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through grief, relationship difficulties and end-of-life concerns. She also helps with anxiety, low mood, stress and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Sharon works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

Her approach is built around the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen without judgement and let people tell their story at their own pace. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps to make life easier week to week.

Sharon also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and small changes that can move a person forward. This means setting simple, realistic goals and noticing what already works in daily life.

She aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk through painful topics like bereavement, cancer, caregiving strain and hospice and end-of-life matters. Sharon emphasises empathy and respect while helping clients explore feelings of guilt, shame, anger or emptiness.

Ethical practice and honesty are important to her; she works according to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy codes of ethics. If someone is unsure about starting, Sharon offers a clear initial process to make the first step less daunting.

How these approaches translate to online or remote work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person's lead. In practice this means the counsellor offers time and space to talk, reflects feelings back, and helps the client make sense of their experience. This approach can be useful for grief, relationship concerns and feelings of emptiness.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on identifying what already works. Sessions set short-term goals and notice incremental progress, which can help with stress, anxiety, coping with life changes and midlife issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then try things that fit the client's needs. Decisions about pace and methods are made together so the client stays in control of the process.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker access to support during stressful periods. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that suit different energy levels, depending on what the client prefers.
