About Sharon-Lin
Sharon-Lin Harwood is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has three years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Sharon-Lin also focuses on caregiver stress, post-traumatic stress and social anxiety and phobia.
She describes a trauma-informed way of working, which means she pays attention to what has happened to a person rather than labelling what is wrong. In sessions she draws on several evidence-based methods and adapts them to the person in front of her. This means sessions can include structured problem-solving, gradual exposure to feared situations, or guided processing of difficult memories depending on the issue.
Her work often involves practical skills people can use between sessions. That might look like testing out a small change in social situations, practising relaxation or using thought records to notice patterns. For those affected by workplace-related stress or compassion fatigue, she addresses both the emotional reactions and the practical pressures that contribute to strain.
Sharon-Lin works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. She commonly supports people with post-traumatic stress symptoms and with fears about social situations. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the next steps the person wants to try.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with costs varying by location.
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Sharon-Lin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce anxiety and avoidant patterns. CBT is often used for phobias and social anxiety where small, planned changes can build confidence.She also works with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, an approach that supports people to process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. This can help when intrusive memories or strong reactions related to past events are getting in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. Sharon-Lin will discuss options with each person, look at what they want to achieve, and adjust methods as the work unfolds. The plan can change based on progress and personal preference.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday demands, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can often offer these practical benefits so therapy fits into a person’s routine rather than adding extra strain.
