About Sherife
Sherife Hussein is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse and people questioning their identity, including LGBT clients.
Sherife aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, with conversation and pacing adjusted to what feels most helpful.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to recognise the courage it takes to begin therapy and to take things at a steady pace. Her approach is influenced by client-centred methods. That means the focus is on the person and their experience, and the therapist follows the lead of the client to understand what matters most.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is also used when past traumatic events affect daily life, helping people make sense of painful memories and reduce their impact. Sherife has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond core issues, including self-esteem, addictions, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and coping with life changes. She also has experience with ADHD, attachment and bereavement-related difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and Sherife accepts clients from outside the UK. If you prefer a counsellor who adapts sessions to each person and listens carefully, she may be a good match. To start, follow the site’s sign-up flow and book a time that suits you.

Approaches Sherife lists

How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, mirrors what is said and helps you explore what matters most. This approach can be useful for everyday stress, confidence issues and relationship worries because it follows your pace and priorities.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the hold of traumatic memories. It offers structured ways to make sense of past abuse or distressing events and to lessen their impact on daily life. This can help when intrusive memories, strong reactions or avoidance are affecting routine functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Sherife will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. The plan can be adjusted as you learn what helps and what does not, making the process collaborative.
Practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and travel. Online options can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits you better. The site lists how to start and schedule; confirm the exact session formats offered by Sherife before booking to ensure they match your needs.
