Rosemin Shariff is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to support people through grief, loss and major life changes. She draws on 20 years of practice in a range of settings to offer calm, respectful care. She treats each person as the expert in their own story and focuses on building a warm, accepting relationship.

Sessions aim to help people manage depression, anxiety, stress and grief, and to find practical ways to cope with change.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in the NHS, local health centres, community mental health agencies, addiction projects, mosques and day treatment services. That variety means she is used to different environments and needs. Shariff pays close attention to cultural and intergenerational factors.

Her own family experience informs her awareness of South Asian British cultural challenges. She brings that sensitivity into conversations about identity, family dynamics and multicultural concerns. Her training includes a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, Counselling for Depression (CfD) practice gained while working with the NHS, and qualification in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for mild to moderate depression.

These inform how she shapes sessions for practical support and emotional understanding. People who choose her often want help with parenting strain, relationship and family issues, eating difficulties, addiction-related concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue and anger. Sessions focus on what matters most now and on small steps that can ease day-to-day life.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and person. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what you say and helps you find your own answers. This approach can help with grief, depression, anxiety and life transitions by creating space to process emotions and make practical changes.

The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which way of working suits you best. That means discussing goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapting the sessions as you go. Finding the right approach is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time choice.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls let you keep a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can fit a short break or use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in and messaging is useful for short reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy days while keeping the focus on your goals.
