About Sherife
Sherife Hussein helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She offers calm, respectful support and focuses on what each person needs right now. Sherife works in English and Turkish and practises in the United Kingdom.
She uses a client-centred way of working, which means conversations follow the person rather than a strict script. Sherife listens for what matters most and then shapes sessions around those priorities.
Background and approach
She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm is affecting day-to-day life. Over eight years of practice she has supported people facing depression, addiction and intimacy-related concerns. Her experience also covers eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, coping with life changes and ADHD-related challenges.
She also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment and communication problems. Sherife aims to tailor talks and plans to each person’s situation. That means setting small steps, checking what works, and changing things when needed.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate, with an emphasis on practical ways to manage difficult feelings. Starting therapy can feel hard, and Sherife acknowledges that first step takes courage. She encourages people to be proud of making that move and to use sessions at a pace that feels manageable.

How Sherife works online
Trauma-Focused Therapy works by gently addressing how past hurt affects the present. It helps people name painful memories, reduce their impact and learn ways to cope with triggers and distressing thoughts. This approach is often used when trauma or abuse is a central concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different techniques. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when useful or a quieter setting that helps concentration. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered and what best fits your routine.
