About Sharlin
Sharlin Paul uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or depression. She writes simply and listens closely to what matters to each person. Sessions are practical and conversational, aiming to make small changes that add up over time.
She has ten years' experience working in therapeutic settings across the United Kingdom. Her work covers trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and attachment issues, and the strain that comes from money problems or life direction.
Background and approach
Sharlin also supports people struggling with hoarding, jealousy, social anxiety, control issues and emptiness. In sessions she combines talking about past patterns with clear, problem-solving tools. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover how early experiences influence feelings now.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and client-centred principles guide the pace and focus of the work. Sharlin describes the process as collaborative. She helps people set goals, tries out practical strategies in session, and may suggest small exercises between meetings.
The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sharlin offers help in English and is available to people in the UK and internationally.
Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and to develop new coping steps. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and social phobia by giving practical ways to change daily habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then suggest a plan. That plan can change as needs shift, with the client involved in every decision.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or happen between sessions to keep momentum going.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to each format, bringing the same therapeutic approaches into online sessions.
