About Sherife
Sherife Hussein is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. She has eight years of professional experience and works in English and Turkish. Sherife aims to meet clients with respect, sensitivity and compassion from the first contact.
She focuses on practical conversations that identify what feels most urgent for the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, so plans and pacing are adjusted as progress is made. Common topics she addresses include low mood, self-esteem and confidence, difficulty sleeping, and challenges around intimacy and addiction.
Sherife also works with issues such as anger, coping with life changes, and neurodiversity-related concerns including autism and attention difficulties. Codependency, attachment and abandonment worries are among the specific patterns she helps people untangle. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the dialogue grounded in the person's own priorities.
When trauma or abuse is part of someone's story, Sherife uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide practical steps for safety and regulation while pacing the work to the individual's readiness. She describes shared goal-setting as central to her approach, so clients know what each stage of therapy is aiming to achieve.
Sherife asks people to view the decision to start therapy as an important step. She encourages questions about how sessions run, and she tailors the process to suit each person's needs and circumstances.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and working at the client's pace. It helps people clarify what matters to them and build confidence to make changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of traumatic events by helping someone learn ways to manage distressing memories and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a method feels in practice. Together they will try a path that fits the person's needs and adjust it as progress is made.
Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to work remotely, confirm the session options before booking so you know how you will meet. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote work to make counselling easier to attend and to match therapy to everyday life.
