Sharlin Paul, BACP

Sharlin Paul is an integrative therapist and life coach based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience supporting people through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem. She blends therapeutic depth with coaching focus to help clients identify what has been holding them back, release emotional blocks, and create a practical pathway toward meaningful change.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including childhood trauma, stress, family difficulties, and addiction recovery, and she has experience working with individuals, couples, and young people across different therapeutic settings. Sharlin brings a compassionate, non-judgmental presence to each session and places value on the therapeutic relationship as an engine for growth and transformation.

Sharlin integrates psychodynamic exploration with solution-focused and coaching strategies, drawing on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs. She begins by clarifying what a client wants to achieve and co-creates a plan that may include reflective work, practical tools, and exercises to deepen progress between sessions. She does not offer one-off sessions, preferring to support sustained, lasting change.

To maintain professional standards she is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Association for Coaching. She has completed continuing professional development training in areas such as play therapy, couples and sex therapy, working with metaphors, understanding eating disorders, anger management, and goal setting and motivation. Sharlin is accepting new clients, including international clients, and has been featured on Channel 5.
