Norma has really helped me find clarity in why I have been feeling low/depressed. She has been a great listener and allowed me the space to explore various issues I otherwise wouldn’t have. Norma showed me great kindness and patience and I would highly recommend her.
More about Norma

- BACP
Hello, my name is Norma. Welcome to my site. I am a qualified counsellor with the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) in the UK. I have 5 years professional work experience. Life brings many changes and challenges that require help and support. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, career changes and also new parents or family changes. I have many years experience of supporting people who have lost loved ones to suicide. Initially as a helpline volunteer and now as a licensed therapist. I provide an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed. Having space and time to explore thoughts and feelings can help to bring clarity and make what can feel very overwhelming more manageable. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can be a difficult decision. I am glad you have taken that step.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

As someone who hasn't had therapy before, Norma has created an environment that is safe and comfortable. I really value my time with her and she has massively helped me.
Norma has really helped me find clarity in why I have been feeling low/depressed. She has been a great listener and allowed me the space to explore various issues I otherwise wouldn’t have. Norma showed me great kindness and patience and I would highly recommend her.
As someone who has come into therapy apprehensive better help is a fantastic tool that eases you into it. Norma Boyd has made the experience so far a comfortable one. She recognises that sometimes even I don't know what I need and offers what she can and changes it as she needs too. What she is doing with me feels tailor made for my circumstances, for my abilities and for my comfort levels. This is just the beginning, but I'm already learning so much and quietly confident that I will get something truly beneficial from this experience.
Amazing person to talk to, always listens and responds in a respectful and supportive way. I’ve learned so much already! ❤️
She helped me a lot to sort out my thoughts and feelings. Would 100% recommend her!
