About Sherife

Sherife Hussein is a counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and struggles with grief and loss. Sherife also supports those managing low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship or intimacy concerns.

She describes her way of working as respectful and compassionate. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation rather than following a fixed script. Sherife aims to help clients build practical steps and clearer thinking to manage difficult feelings and daily challenges.

Sherife uses client-centred approaches that put the person's experience first. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are a central issue. These approaches guide how she listens, asks questions and helps people make sense of their reactions.

Her practice includes help for people dealing with eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, ADHD and major life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain, and concerns around body image and communication.

Sessions can be conducted in English or Turkish. Sherife asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Her BACP credential is listed as part of her professional background.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building the conversation around their priorities. It aims to create a space where people can speak openly and decide for themselves which changes feel right. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on how past events affect present feelings and behaviour, offering ways to process painful memories and reduce their impact on daily life.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Sherife will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest options that seem to fit. Together you can try an approach and adjust it as the work progresses to find what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, appointments and caring responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep therapy part of a busy routine. Registered or accredited professionals can work with you remotely to shape sessions that meet your needs and goals.
