About Norma

Norma Boyd is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She practices in the United Kingdom and brings six years of experience to her sessions. Norma holds BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, as her listed credential.

She offers a calm space where clients can talk through difficult feelings at their own pace. Her work draws on different approaches so the therapy fits each person.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred ways to make people feel heard, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and psychodynamic ideas to consider how past relationships affect present life. Internal Family Systems is also part of her practice when it seems useful for understanding internal parts and self-relations.

Norma supports people coping with relationship strain, parenting pressures, family problems and grief. She also addresses concerns such as attachment difficulties, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, social anxiety, feelings of emptiness, codependency and shame. This breadth allows attention to immediate symptoms and the stories behind them.

Sessions aim to make overwhelming problems more manageable and help clients find clearer thinking and more helpful ways to cope. Norma listens without judgement and works collaboratively to set goals that feel realistic. Her approach is practical and steady, with time given to reflect and try new ways of relating to oneself and others.

Therapy can begin from wherever you are in life and can include short-term focused work or longer exploration. Norma welcomes people who prefer online sessions or messaging as well as phone and video contact.

Ways of working Norma names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online counselling

Norma works with client-centred therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the client to lead sessions. This approach helps people feel understood and encourages them to explore feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is also part of her work and looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and behaviour patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Norma will discuss options and test what fits best with a person’s goals and preferences. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting methods as progress is made and checking in about what is helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit short check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting or other commitments while still working on lasting changes.
