About Sharon-Lin

Sharon-Lin Harwood is a Clinical Psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety and the aftermath of traumatic events. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by compassion fatigue and supports those dealing with post-traumatic stress and social anxiety. Her style is practical and straightforward.

Sessions focus on making small, manageable changes that fit everyday life. Sharon-Lin emphasises a trauma-informed perspective, which means she pays attention to what has happened to someone rather than judging what is 'wrong' with them.

Background and approach

She uses several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. This helps keep therapy relevant to the issue a person brings to the room. Her background includes three years working in clinical settings with people affected by trauma and related stress.

She holds HCPC registration, which is recorded as HCPC. Her experience includes work with healthcare professionals who struggle with post-traumatic stress symptoms and moral injury. In sessions she aims to be calm and direct.

People can expect clear explanations, simple exercises to practise between meetings, and time to talk through difficult memories at a comfortable pace. The focus is on coping skills that will help day-to-day functioning. Sharon-Lin offers therapy in English for people based in the United Kingdom.

She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair people with her and set up a schedule that fits their needs.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Sharon-Lin lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Evidence-based approaches and online access

Sharon-Lin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach suits anxiety and many stress-related problems because it teaches skills to manage symptoms in daily life.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, a method aimed at easing the intensity of distressing memories by working through them in a paced way. This can help people who continue to experience strong reactions linked to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sharon-Lin works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in on busy days. Live chat and messaging suit short updates or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
