About Norma Boyd
Her background includes work supporting people who have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide, first as a helpline volunteer and later as a practising therapist. That experience informs a calm, patient approach to exploring intense emotions and sensitive topics. Norma aims to provide an open, respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be explored at the client’s own pace, enabling greater clarity and practical coping strategies when needed.
Clients seeking help with attachment, parenting, social anxiety, compulsive behaviours, feelings of emptiness, or family conflict will find therapy that balances empathy with evidence-informed methods. Norma explains that friends and family can be valuable supports, but some concerns are easier to address in a dedicated therapeutic setting. She recognises that the first step into therapy can feel difficult and offers steady support for people ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Norma works from client-centered, cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic perspectives to offer different ways of understanding and addressing difficulties. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the client’s own goals guide the work - this approach is useful for building self-awareness, self-compassion and confidence in decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns; it is often effective for anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching practical skills and strategies. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and relationships shape current feelings and patterns, offering deeper insight into recurring issues and relational dynamics.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Norma will work with each person to assess their needs, goals and preferences and may integrate techniques from different models so the work fits the individual. This shared decision-making helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy delivers that collaborative work through flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - allowing people to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
