About Sharlin

Sharlin Paul works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and family issues using a mix of talking therapies and practical tools. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years' experience.

She draws on Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic approaches. In sessions she listens to what matters to the client, looks at current patterns, and discusses small practical steps to try between meetings. The emphasis is on clear, manageable changes rather than long theoretical explanations.

Common topics she helps people with include attachment and communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, hoarding and jealousy. She also works on life purpose, money and financial worries, and social anxiety and phobia. Sessions address both current difficulties and ways past experiences may still influence feelings and behaviour.

Her style combines attentive listening with structured techniques where helpful. This can include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, reflecting on relationship dynamics, and setting simple goals to test new ways of coping. Clients set the priorities and the pace during therapy.

Sharlin offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and services use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users can select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and experience, with the counsellor following the person’s lead to understand what feels most important. This approach helps people who want to be heard and to make sense of how they feel.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical and useful for anxiety, low mood and some stress-related problems.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat over time and aims to make those patterns clearer. It can help when past experiences keep affecting current relationships and emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a way forward based on the client's needs, goals and preferences, so it is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel, and having a shorter check-in when needed.
