About Sherife

Sherife Hussein is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and anger. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy questions, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD, and challenges that come with life changes.

Sherife uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centred methods that focus on the person’s perspective. She also uses trauma-focused work when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day life.

Sessions concentrate on practical ways to manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity. That can include noticing patterns that lead to snapping at others, building better communication, and practising calmer responses in stressful moments. She also helps people process grief, loss, and outcomes of abuse so those experiences stop dominating current life.

Sherife adapts the pace and topics to what the client brings. She listens for what feels most urgent and then works step by step. That approach aims to make emotional regulation skills feel usable in real situations, not just in theory.

She offers work in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. Before a first session clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial meeting. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s experience and building understanding from their point of view. Online sessions using this approach often centre on honest conversation, practical problem-solving, and developing strategies the client can try between meetings.

Trauma-Focused Therapy targets how past events affect current reactions and day-to-day functioning. In online sessions this can mean pacing the work, identifying triggers, and practising grounding or regulation skills that reduce reactivity to memories or stressful situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape the pace and focus of sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or keeping to audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often offer this flexibility so therapy can slot into everyday routines without a major schedule change.
