Sherife Hussein
Compassionate, practical support for everyday struggles
About Sherife
Sherife Hussein welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She makes space for practical conversation and personal goals. Sherife speaks English and Turkish and has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
Sherife uses a client-centred approach that starts with listening to what matters to the individual. She helps people name what is worrying them, clarify priorities, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
When trauma or past abuse is part of the picture she draws on trauma-focused methods to reduce distress and increase emotional safety. She works with a wide range of concerns, including depression, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes.
Sherife also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, attachment struggles, abandonment worries, and challenges linked to ageing or chronic illness. Her practice includes helping people with communication and control issues, codependency, and ADHD-related difficulties. Sherife aims to tailor sessions so they fit each person’s pace and needs.
Sessions focus on building understanding, practical coping skills, and clearer next steps. She keeps language plain and sessions straightforward for people who may be anxious about starting therapy. To begin she encourages a simple first step of completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging a time to talk.
From there she works with the person to set goals and choose a way of working that feels helpful.

How Sherife’s approaches work online
Sherife draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on understanding the person’s experience and working at their pace. This approach helps people clarify what matters most, set simple goals, and try practical changes that fit their life.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past harm is affecting current wellbeing. That approach gently addresses how traumatic memories and reactions show up, with techniques aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherife collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan if something feels unhelpful or too fast.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth, and text or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties, or travel while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship with registered or accredited professionals.
