About Sherife
Sherife Hussein helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or grief. She is a counsellor with eight years of experience in the United Kingdom and works in both English and Turkish. Sherife aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
She uses a client-centred approach that follows each person’s pace and priorities. That means conversations focus on the problems you bring and on practical steps you can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Sherife also draws on trauma-focused methods when trauma or abuse has affected daily life and emotions. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including depression, self-esteem, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and LGBTQ matters, alongside other relationship and attachment struggles.
Additional areas of focus include chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and abandonment issues. Sherife tailors the plan to each person rather than offering one fixed method. Sessions are conversational, grounded and aimed at helping you build coping skills and clearer thinking.
She encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels doable. For people new to therapy she highlights that starting is a brave step and that she will work at a rate that feels safe. Practical options such as video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging are available to fit different routines and needs.

Approaches Sherife lists

Online support
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past abuse or distressing events on current life. It aims to help people process painful memories and reduce the ways those memories interfere with daily functioning. This method can be helpful for symptoms related to anxiety, sleep problems and trust or intimacy difficulties.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Sherife will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and together you will decide what to try first. She adapts the plan as therapy progresses so the methods stay relevant to your needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets you see facial expression and tone, phone calls can be quicker and use less bandwidth, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for different routines, schedules and communication styles.
