About Sherife

Sherife Hussein offers a calm, respectful space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She greets each person with sensitivity and aims to make first steps feel manageable. Her approach is practical and conversational, focused on helping people find what works for them.

With eight years of practice in the United Kingdom, Sherife adapts sessions to individual needs rather than using one fixed method. She listens for what matters most to the client and builds a plan in partnership with them.

Background and approach

That plan may address sleep, eating, mood, motivation or difficulties with intimacy and relationships. Sherife uses client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience. She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past harm affects present life.

These approaches guide how she responds in sessions and how goals are set over time. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including addictions, ADHD, chronic pain and caregiver stress, as well as attachment and abandonment issues. Sherife also supports people facing life changes, ageing concerns and communication problems.

Sessions are available in English and Turkish. Sherife is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She encourages people to be proud of themselves for reaching out, and to expect a steady, collaborative process rather than quick fixes.

How Sherife’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It gives you space to talk and to set the agenda, while the counsellor reflects back what they hear and helps you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship problems and life transitions.

Trauma-focused therapy works directly with the effects of past harm. It aims to help people understand how difficult events affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour now, and to reduce the ways those memories intrude on daily life. This approach can help when anxiety, sleep disruption or avoidance follow from earlier trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with you and decide together which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation when you prefer it. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you want a quieter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or days when writing feels easier. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
