Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support
Sharlin Paul draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathic space where the client’s experience guides the work - this approach helps when someone needs acceptance, validation, and clarity about their goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Where helpful, psychodynamic exploration is used to look at how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and choices, offering insight into longstanding difficulties such as attachment or repeating relationship patterns.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Sharlin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds. Registered professionals support clients in tailoring interventions so therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with Sharlin offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. This range of options helps maintain continuity of care and supports steady progress over time.
