About Sharlin
Sharlin Paul uses a blend of Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic approaches to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety or depression. She focuses on building a trusting relationship first, then works with each person to find practical steps forward. Sharlin has BACP accreditation and ten years of experience working with a range of emotional difficulties.
She helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse to name what has happened and to make sense of how it affects day-to-day life.
How Sharlin works
Sessions also address self-esteem, attachment and communication problems so that people can feel more confident in relationships and decision making. Practical tools are offered alongside reflective work on past patterns. Her approach to anxiety and stress combines thought-challenging techniques with closer attention to how early experiences shape current reactions.
For depression and feelings of emptiness she uses gentle exploration of underlying themes while suggesting small, achievable goals to rebuild energy and purpose. Work around money, hoarding or jealousy looks at both behaviour and feeling beneath it. Sessions may include talking, simple exercises and suggestions to try between meetings.
The aim is to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Sharlin encourages curiosity about patterns and supports people to test new ways of coping. She offers appointments to people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own point of view. The therapist listens with empathy and helps you find your own solutions, which is useful for issues like low self-esteem and relationship struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear exercises and practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage stress and change unhelpful patterns.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence present behaviour. This approach can help when recurring problems, attachment issues or trauma seem to repeat themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or childcare and still maintain regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
