About Norma
Norma Boyd works from a blend of talking therapies to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. Norma writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can talk at their own pace.
She focuses on concerns such as depression, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting worries and major life changes. Norma also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, codependency, isolation and social anxiety.
Background and approach
Other areas she works with include obsessive thoughts and compulsions, shame and low self-worth, and challenges linked to autism or avoidant personality traits. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a respectful, non-judgemental space where people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical steps that lead to small changes.
Psychodynamic work and Internal Family Systems help people map patterns from the past and the inner parts that influence behaviour. Norma has previous experience as a helpline volunteer supporting people after bereavement, including losses to suicide. That background informs her calm, steady manner and attention to safety when difficult feelings arise.
She aims to make what feels overwhelming more manageable through clear, gradual steps. Sessions are available in English and are offered online in several formats. To begin, Norma asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their timing.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is offered online as a hands-on method to spot unhelpful thinking and try small practical experiments. It suits worries like anxiety, social phobia and repetitive thoughts where step-by-step practice can reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Norma will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and choose or combine methods with the client. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls can fit a short break from work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suit people who prefer to write and want brief check-ins or steady contact between sessions. These options help therapy work around daily life and different communication styles.
