About Sherife
Sherife Hussein is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and Turkish and she accepts international clients.
Sherife uses straightforward, person-focused conversation. She listens to what is happening now and with the past. From there she and the client decide what to focus on and how to work together. This can include looking at patterns of thinking, how emotions are expressed, and practical ways to manage strong feelings such as anger.
Her background includes work with trauma and with people who have experienced loss or significant life transitions. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the discussion focused on the person’s experience. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are a central part of the difficulty.
Sessions aim to be practical and direct. Sherife helps people develop clearer ways to express frustration, set boundaries, and cope day to day. She also supports people who want to understand how past relationships affect current reactions.
People who choose her typically want plain language, steady pacing, and a counsellor who will work to identify useful next steps. To begin, Sherife asks clients to complete a short questionnaire so the first meeting can focus on priorities.
How Sherife applies her approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the here and now. It means conversations that follow what matters to the client, helping them name feelings and consider small changes they can try. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past events affect current reactions and works on processing those memories and responses in a paced way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherife will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That plan may combine gentler person-led talking and more focused trauma work when appropriate, and it will be reviewed as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel for each appointment. They also let people join from another location when they have limited quiet time, or avoid being on camera if that helps them focus. Registered or accredited professionals can support this process and adapt sessions to each person’s practical constraints.
