About Sharon

Sharon Boyd is a UK-based therapist with 13 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She brings a respectful and compassionate approach to every client interaction, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to address each person’s circumstances and goals. Sharon works with a broad range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, challenges related to adoption and foster care, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, personality-related difficulties, caregiver stress, body image, and complex presentations that include co-morbidity and dissociation.

She integrates several evidence-informed methods to meet individual needs, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sharon holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and NCPS, a credential indicating additional professional training in counselling and psychotherapy. These qualifications reflect ongoing commitment to professional standards and clinical development.

Sharon aims to create a sensitive, nonjudgmental space where people can take the courageous first steps toward greater well-being. She is experienced in working with LGBT concerns and complex life transitions, and she also works with international clients when appropriate. Her practice focuses on collaboration, practical strategies, and helping clients build resilience and clearer self-understanding.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Sharon often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult internal experiences rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which focuses on patterns of relating that developed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional regulation; this is helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and attachment-related trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common tool in her work - it offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sharon works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the therapy remains responsive and client-centered.

Online sessions provide flexibility to access therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments around work, family, or location constraints. These options support regular contact, continuity of care, and the ability to use therapy in ways that suit each person’s life and learning style.
