About Sharon-Lin

Sharon-Lin Harwood works on stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns using approaches she commonly employs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and Compassion Focused Therapy. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has three years' experience as a clinical psychologist.

Sharon-Lin frames her work around what has happened to a person rather than what is wrong with them. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies to reduce anxiety symptoms and on processing distressing memories when that is helpful. She also addresses compassion fatigue and moral injury for healthcare professionals, and supports people managing caregiver stress.

Her approach mixes talking and evidence-based techniques. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour to reduce anxious patterns. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is used when past events continue to cause distress and intrusive memories. Compassion Focused Therapy works on reducing self-criticism and building a calmer inner response.

Sharon-Lin aims to set clear goals in early sessions and to review progress regularly. Sessions are practical and paced to the person’s needs. She will discuss the techniques that are most likely to help and agree the plan together.

She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to remote sessions

Sharon-Lin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This approach is practical and often includes homework tasks to practise skills between meetings.

She also works with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, an approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact; it involves guided focus on memories alongside specific techniques. Compassion Focused Therapy is used to reduce self-criticism and to develop a kinder internal response when people feel overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon-Lin will discuss options with the client, consider goals and preferences, and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how to pace them.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and caring responsibilities, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a mix of session styles to suit different practical needs, and Sharon-Lin will discuss what will work best for each person.
