About Sharon

Sharon Boyd is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), with seven years' experience. She works with issues including relationships, family problems, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, stress and anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating difficulties, and parenting worries.

Her style is straightforward and person-centred. She listens closely and helps people talk through what matters most to them. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and on practical next steps they can try between sessions.

Sharon uses Client-Centred Therapy together with solution-focused ideas. That means she follows the person’s lead while also spotting small, achievable changes to test out. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented rather than long theoretical discussions.

She is based in the United Kingdom and follows the BACP code of ethics. Sharon has worked with people facing many life transitions such as divorce, midlife change, caregiving and end-of-life matters, including grief and hospice-related concerns.

People often come to her for help with anger that shows up at work, in relationships, or as simmering resentment. Her approach looks at what keeps those patterns going and what practical steps can reduce reactivity and ease tension over time.

Sharon offers sessions in English. She aims to make the first steps clear and simple so people can decide whether to go ahead at their own pace.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist reflects what is said, helping the client name feelings and priorities so they can decide on next steps. This approach is often used for relationship strain, grief and emotional overwhelm.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that can be tested between meetings. It highlights strengths and past successes to build short-term goals. This can help with anger that shows up at work or in close relationships by breaking problems into manageable actions.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Sharon will help clients explore whether a person-centred or solution-focused way suits their goals, and she will agree the plan collaboratively based on needs and preferences.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you prefer not to be on camera some options can be shorter check-ins or phone-style sessions, but the exact session formats should be confirmed before booking. Confirm the available session formats when you select the See online therapy options button so you know what will work with your routine.
