About Norma
Norma Boyd is a counsellor who uses client-centred care to help people facing hard times. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings six years of experience to her work. Norma speaks plainly and makes space for people to talk at their own pace.
She focuses on stress, anxiety and depression alongside relationship and family concerns. Norma adapts her approach to each person. She combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and deeper psychodynamic thinking when useful.
Background and approach
This mix helps with everyday worries, low mood and repeating patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. She has supported people through bereavement and loss, including those affected by suicide, beginning as a helpline volunteer and later continuing in her counselling practice. That experience has shaped her calm and steady way of working when grief is present.
Norma aims to make overwhelming feelings feel more manageable over time. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the person. Norma helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new coping strategies and make small changes that add up.
She also explores past experiences when they seem to be keeping someone stuck. Norma offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. She works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients in English.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Norma will talk with the person about their goals, what has helped or hindered before, and together they will choose methods to try. This means the approach can change over time as needs shift and small changes are evaluated together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for simpler check-ins. Live chat and text can suit shorter reflections, daily check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
