Sherife Hussein meets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to begin. She keeps sessions simple and direct so worries can be talked through in plain language. She expresses respect and sensitivity and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who may be nervous about therapy.

Sherife has eight years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She draws on practical conversation to address stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addictions and problems with eating or sleeping. Her work often focuses on intimacy-related difficulties, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes such as ageing or caregiving responsibilities. She can also help with ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the challenges that come with chronic illness or disability.

Sherife adapts sessions to suit each person’s situation. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs most. Sherife uses a client-centred approach to create a relaxed space where clients lead the pace and topics.

For trauma-related difficulties she uses trauma-focused methods to process painful memories safely and gradually. She offers therapy in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. The aim is to work together so people leave sessions with clearer next steps and practical coping ideas they can try between meetings.

How Sherife’s approaches translate to online therapy

Therapies she uses are explained in down-to-earth terms so people know what to expect. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist offers empathic responses and helps clients find their own solutions to stress, low mood or relationship worries. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on gently processing traumatic experiences. It breaks down painful memories into manageable pieces and uses paced discussion to reduce their intensity over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherife will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and she checks in regularly to make sure the plan still fits.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit into short breaks or suit people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for different schedules, time zones and practical needs while keeping the focus on useful, goal‑oriented therapy.
