About Sharon
Sharon Boyd is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other practical approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress and grief. She brings 13 years of practice in the United Kingdom and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for each person. Sharon works in English and accepts international clients when appropriate.
Sharon focuses on real day-to-day problems such as low mood, panic and ongoing worry. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, and those dealing with issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored so people can talk about what matters most to them. Her work draws on several counselling styles to match the client’s needs. Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Sharon pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that affect how people feel and behave.
This often helps people understand recurring difficulties and try different ways of relating to themselves and others. People can expect short-term goals and longer conversations depending on what they want to achieve. Sharon’s approach is collaborative - she works with each person to agree next steps and practical tasks between sessions.
The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood and better ways to handle life’s stresses.

Online support
Online therapy that uses emotion and action
Sharon integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide online work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name difficult feelings and how these shape close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which combination of methods best fits a person’s goals and preferences. Together they set aims, test strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text sessions suit brief check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who need support between longer sessions.
