About Sherife

Sherife Hussein welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, grieving or stuck. She offers a calm space to talk through immediate concerns and to find steady ways forward. Sherife works with people who are dealing with stress, trauma, low mood, addictive behaviours, relationship and intimacy questions, and life changes such as bereavement or relocation.

Sherife is a BACP counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, with the conversation and plan adjusted as progress is made.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles, where the person, not the problem, is central. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting day-to-day life. These ways of working help when anxiety, grief or painful memories make coping difficult.

Sherife has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, attention difficulties such as ADHD, and issues linked to identity and sexuality. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, attachment or abandonment worries, and the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions are offered in English and Turkish, and Sherife accepts clients from outside the UK. She encourages a collaborative pace so people can set goals and try practical steps that fit their life.

How Sherife’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s priorities. In practice this means the counsellor sets a supportive tone, asks what matters most, and helps people make small, practical changes that fit their life. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past events affect current feelings and behaviour and uses careful, paced work to reduce distress linked to those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherife will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps set manageable goals and a pace that suits the individual.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online counselling helps them fit therapy into busy lives, reduces travel time and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Others choose a simpler check-in when days are hectic or a longer conversation when deeper work is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their ways of working to suit each person’s circumstances and goals.
