About Sherife
Sherife Hussein is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She speaks English and Turkish and brings eight years of professional experience to sessions. Sherife aims to make the first steps of seeking help feel manageable and respectful.
She approaches each person as an individual. Conversations and plans are adapted to what matters most to the client. Sherife focuses on building a working relationship that feels safe and clear, so people can talk about difficult memories, worries or life changes.
Background and approach
Sherife uses client-centred ways of working to help people find their own answers. That means listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person in front of her. It often helps with self-esteem, relationship struggles and motivation.
When trauma or past abuse is part of the story she takes a trauma-focused approach. This means careful pacing, grounding techniques and practical steps to reduce how much distress memories cause in daily life. The aim is to restore a sense of control and calm.
Her practice also covers grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD and many interpersonal issues like communication and commitment worries. Sherife is comfortable supporting people from LGBT backgrounds and those navigating caregiver stress or chronic health problems. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin.
From there sessions can be scheduled in ways that fit the person’s life and availability.

Approaches Sherife lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
For people affected by trauma, she applies trauma-focused methods that focus on gradual pacing, grounding techniques and reducing the impact of distressing memories. This work aims to help people manage symptoms and regain a stronger sense of calm and control.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sherife will discuss options with each person, match methods to their needs and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. The client’s goals and preferences guide which techniques are used.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for a fuller face-to-face feel, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access a therapist from different locations.
