About Sharlin

Counsellor, BACP, 10 years' experience. Sharlin Paul focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem and depression. She works in English and accepts international clients. Her main methods include Client‑Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy.

Sharlin uses straightforward conversations to help people untangle current problems. She listens to what matters most and helps identify steps to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Sessions draw on talking therapy and practical tools that can be tried between meetings.

Her background spans community and therapeutic settings where she has worked with individuals, couples and young people. Over ten years she has supported people dealing with childhood trauma, relationship and attachment issues, addiction recovery and lack of direction. This range informs how she links past patterns to present challenges.

Therapy often combines exploring how early experiences shape feelings now with clearer strategies for everyday life. That can mean reflecting on relationships and attachment, and also learning skills from CBT to shift thoughts and behaviours. Sessions may include reflective discussion and short exercises to practice outside sessions.

Sharlin is a BACP member, which she lists among her credentials. She also uses coaching-style goal work when appropriate, helping clients set practical steps toward change. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online tools described on her profile.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective, using open dialogue and reflective listening to build understanding and clarify goals. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and self‑critical thinking. Psychodynamic Therapy examines patterns that come from earlier relationships and experience, helping people see how those patterns show up now and influence choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will choose or combine methods. This is a collaborative process that may shift as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It also supports using worksheets, behavioural experiments and reflection exercises between sessions to continue progress outside appointments.
