About Sharlin
Sharlin Paul is a counsellor who blends warm, person-centred care with practical tools to help people feel less stuck. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and family-related worries. She also helps people who are struggling after trauma and those trying to rebuild self-esteem and direction.
With ten years of experience, she draws on Client-Centred therapy to make space for honest conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that come from earlier relationships.
Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens for the small changes that can make daily life easier, and suggests exercises to practise between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sharlin has a BACP credential, which reflects her professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has also completed additional professional development in areas such as couples work, play therapy approaches and anger management.
People often come with struggles around attachment, communication, control, emptiness or relationship jealousy. Sharlin supports those exploring life purpose, money worries, hoarding behaviours or social anxiety, and she integrates practical planning with reflective work to help people move forward.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and making the client feel understood; online work can still centre on this supportive relationship through steady, attentive conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives clear steps to change thinking and behaviour, and can include practical exercises or homework that fit into everyday life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which method or blend might suit them best. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for international clients to arrange ongoing sessions without relocating, while still receiving the same blend of reflective and practical support described above.
