About Sherife

Sherife Hussein is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She draws on eight years of professional experience and works in English and Turkish. Her approach aims to make conversations straightforward and useful for day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Sessions also cover relationship challenges that affect intimacy, family roles, and communication patterns. Sherife uses client-centred techniques to keep the pace and focus guided by the person in the room. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past hurt affects current wellbeing.

Together these approaches help people explore feelings, build coping skills, and plan small, manageable changes. Her work includes supporting people facing addiction, grief, body image concerns, and challenges connected to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment, and caregiver stress.

Conversations can include practical strategies for managing anger, eating or sleeping difficulties, and motivation. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Sherife explains the process clearly and helps clients pick the format that matches their routine.

She encourages anyone who is unsure to take the next step and start with a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit.

How these approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions; this approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of past harm and teaching skills to reduce its hold on daily life; it is often used for people affected by abuse, loss, or intense stressful events.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try different techniques together. Decisions about methods and session format are made collaboratively so the work fits the person's needs and rhythm.

Online therapy offers flexibility in practical ways. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language during longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing, want ongoing support between sessions, or need greater scheduling flexibility. These options help make regular contact more doable alongside work, caring responsibilities, or busy days.
