Sharlin Paul, BACP

Sharlin Paul is a counsellor who focuses on trauma, anxiety and stress.

About Sharlin

Sharlin Paul is a counsellor who focuses on trauma, anxiety and stress. She uses a blend of talking therapy and practical strategies to help people make small, steady changes. Sessions aim to increase clarity, reduce overwhelm and help people feel more in control of their next steps.

With ten years of experience, she draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s priorities central. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

Background and approach

Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. People come to her with depression, low self esteem, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing money worries, hoarding, communication difficulties and social anxiety.

The focus is on practical changes alongside understanding how past experiences shape current behaviour. Sessions often include reflective conversation, goal-setting and short exercises to try between meetings. The approach is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

She encourages steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes. Sharlin is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works online with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs.

How therapy approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps you set the agenda so work feels relevant and manageable. This approach is useful for people who need empathy and space to make their own choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses short practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and social fears.

Psychodynamic ideas focus on patterns that come from past relationships and early experiences. Talking about these patterns can reveal why certain situations trigger strong reactions and help find different ways of responding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and tailor methods to your needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are made together and reviewed as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel and family life.
