About Sharlin
Sharlin Paul is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to build a caring, respectful space. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or past trauma find clearer direction and renewed purpose. Her style is warm and collaborative, focusing on what each person wants to change.
With ten years of experience, she blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions can include talking through current problems, noticing patterns from the past, and trying practical steps to ease symptoms. She offers tools and exercises you can use between meetings.
Sharlin has supported people facing family strain, attachment and communication problems, and issues such as low self-esteem, hoarding, jealousy and financial stress. She also works with life-purpose questions and social anxiety. Sessions are guided by the concerns you bring.
She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as her listed credential. Her background includes practice in a range of therapeutic settings and some training in areas like play therapy, couples and sex work, and anger management.
If you are unsure how to begin, she asks about your goals and co-creates a plan. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than one-off fixes. To start, use the platform’s matching flow to connect and arrange a first appointment.
How client-centred and practical work online
Sharlin blends client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas in an online setting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience, helping you find your own solutions through empathetic dialogue and reflection. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers practical steps to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns from the past that affect how you cope now and can help make sense of repeating relationship or emotional themes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sharlin collaborates with each person to decide what to try first, and she adjusts the plan based on how helpful the work feels. That means sessions aim to match your goals and your preferred pace rather than following a fixed model.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping continuity when travel is difficult. Online work can make it easier to attend shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings without needing to travel. Details about specific session formats should be confirmed before booking, as this profile does not list particular options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt tools and exercises for use in online meetings so you can continue progress between sessions.
