Norma Boyd, BACP

Norma Boyd is a UK-based counsellor who holds the BACP credential - the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. She works within several therapeutic models to tailor support to each person’s needs, focusing on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, family difficulties, grief, parenting, and coping with life changes.

Her approach emphasizes a compassionate, person-focused setting where thoughts and feelings can be explored at the client’s own pace. Norma has particular experience supporting people after the loss of a loved one to suicide, originally through helpline volunteering and subsequently through her therapeutic work. That background informs her sensitivity to bereavement and complex grief reactions.

Norma also works with attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, codependency, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, issues related to narcissism, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, paranoia, self-harm, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia. She aims to help make overwhelming situations more manageable by creating space to reflect, gain clarity, and build practical coping strategies.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and Norma acknowledges that decision. She offers supportive, nonjudgmental care intended to help clients navigate change, heal from loss, and strengthen relationships as they work toward their goals.
