About Sherife
Sherife Hussein is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. Sherife also supports people dealing with family and intimacy-related concerns and the practical strains of everyday life.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses client-centred methods to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She also draws on trauma-focused techniques when past harm affects daily functioning and relationships.
In sessions she aims to help people talk through what is happening, identify unhelpful patterns, and find ways to manage distressing thoughts and feelings. Conversations are paced to what each person can handle, with attention to practical steps as well as emotional processing.
Sherife has worked with a wide range of issues that often overlap, such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating struggles, sleep problems, and caregiver stress. She also has experience supporting people with neurodiversity and long-term health challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and Turkish. She accepts clients internationally and uses a matching and scheduling process to begin work together. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and arrange their first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard, clarify their thoughts and decide practical next steps when facing stress, relationship strain or low self-esteem. Trauma-Focused Therapy works with the effects of past harm, helping people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on everyday life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sherife will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a plan. That collaborative process can include trying different ways of working to see what helps most for your situation.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around parenting, work and other routines. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits a person's day. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to reach people who live further away or have busy schedules, while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
