About Sherife
Sherife Hussein is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and related concerns. Sherife also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and challenges linked to eating and sleeping.
Her approach begins with respectful, sensitive listening. Sherife uses client-centred methods to shape conversations around what matters most to each person. That means she lets the client lead, while offering practical ways to cope and move forward.
Sherife also applies trauma-focused work when past experiences are affecting day-to-day life. In those sessions she helps people name the impacts of trauma and build step-by-step strategies to feel steadier. She adapts pace and techniques to suit each person’s needs and comfort level.
She offers support in English and Turkish and has experience with issues such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image. Sherife aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings and plan manageable next steps.
To begin, she encourages people to recognise that seeking help is a positive step. The focus in early sessions is on understanding priorities, setting realistic goals, and agreeing on how to work together.
How client-centred and trauma-focused work translate online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and responding to the person's priorities. Online sessions with this approach focus on letting the client set the agenda, exploring feelings, and building practical coping steps that suit daily life. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people address the impact of past events. Remotely this can mean gradual, paced conversations about memories, and practising strategies to reduce distress between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest whether client-centred or trauma-focused work - or a blend - best fits those aims. The plan can change as needs evolve so decisions are taken together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It also makes it possible for people to work with registered or accredited professionals in different locations, including international clients, while tailoring the practical details to what suits each person.
