Sharon Boyd, BACP, NCPS

Sharon Boyd is a UK-based licensed therapist with 13 years of professional experience, offering focused support for stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. She holds credentials with BACP (the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and NCPS (a professional counselling and psychotherapy credential), reflecting her training and membership in recognized professional bodies. Sharon draws on a range of clinical approaches to address complex issues such as attachment challenges, abandonment and adoption matters, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and difficulties tied to neurodiversity and personality-related patterns.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and care plans to fit individual circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution. Sharon emphasizes collaboration, tailoring the pace and focus of therapy to match a client’s goals and preferences. Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting, and she frames that step as an act of courage that she is ready to support. Her practice aims to help people build practical skills, process painful experiences, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Sharon integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support people facing emotional pain and relational difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional responses and connection styles, helping people address issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, and difficulties in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best, adjusting techniques to match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy life or connect from different locations. These options allow continuity of care, more scheduling flexibility, and multiple ways to communicate, so clients and licensed professionals can choose formats that suit comfort and accessibility.
