About Sherife

Sherife Hussein is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self‑esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and life changes including ADHD. Sherife speaks English and Turkish and accepts international clients.

Her approach centres on listening and responding to what each person brings. She uses client‑centred methods that focus on the person’s own perspective. She also draws on trauma‑focused therapy when past harm is part of the picture. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than technical jargon or lectures.

Sherife aims to help clients talk through feelings, notice patterns, and work towards small, manageable changes. She will discuss goals and adjust the way she works as the relationship develops. People often use sessions to make sense of difficult events, build confidence, or cope with upsetting thoughts and memories.

With eight years’ experience, Sherife has supported people through grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and the stress of life transitions. She pays attention to how things like attachment, body image, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and social identity affect everyday life. She does not present diagnosis as the only focus; the work often centres on practical steps and clearer choices.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. For session formats, confirm current options before booking.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Client‑centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely to what matters to the client, reflects back what she hears, and helps the client name priorities. This approach is useful for building confidence, dealing with low self‑esteem, and sorting out choices about work, study, or relationships.

Trauma‑focused therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm on current thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It involves carefully talking through memories and reactions, and learning ways to reduce their impact on day‑to‑day life. This approach is commonly used when trauma or abuse contributes to anxiety, sleep problems, anger, or difficulties in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherife will discuss what seems to fit your needs and adjust methods as you go. Choices are made collaboratively based on your concerns, goals and preferences rather than assumed in advance.

Session logistics and formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel. It also allows for shorter check‑ins when a quick conversation is needed, or camera‑free options when less bandwidth is required. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help people fit therapy into everyday life while focusing on practical steps and progress.
