About Sherife

Sherife Hussein is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also helps people struggling with grief, self-esteem, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and she has eight years of professional experience.

Her way of working centres on listening and treating people with respect and compassion. Conversations are adapted to each person's needs, so therapy feels personal rather than one-size-fits-all.

Background and approach

She aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through at their own pace. Clients can expect a practical focus on day-to-day coping skills alongside time to unpack difficult experiences. Sherife uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.

When trauma or past abuse is present she draws on trauma-focused approaches to address those memories carefully. Over time she helps people build confidence, manage strong emotions and tackle problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger or addictive behaviours. She also supports clients dealing with caregiving stress, chronic health challenges and identity concerns including LGBT issues.

Sherife works online using several formats so sessions can fit into busy lives. If you want to begin, follow the site steps to match with her and book a first appointment.

How trauma-focused and client-centred therapy work online

Client-Centred Therapy is built around compassionate listening and following the client’s lead. The counsellor prioritises what matters to the person, reflecting feelings and helping them clarify goals and choices. This works well for problems like low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy involves addressing distressing memories and reactions in a gradual, managed way. The aim is to help people process traumatic events so those memories stop dominating daily life. It can be helpful for survivors of abuse, disaster or other overwhelming experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options together and adapt methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape a practical plan for sessions rather than a fixed script.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use a live conversational style. Phone sessions are useful when a lower-tech or audio-only option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, written reflections and support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
