Sherife Hussein, BACP

Sherife Hussein is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She works with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, self-esteem and confidence, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a variety of other issues including ADHD, body image, and caregiver stress. Sherife describes her approach as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's individual circumstances and goals.

Sherife uses evidence-informed methods and draws on client-centered and trauma-focused ways of working to create a supportive space where people can explore feelings and build practical coping strategies. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - commonly referred to as BACP - she follows professional standards that guide ethical practice in the UK. She offers therapy in English and Turkish and accepts international clients, providing flexible options to meet different needs.

Taking the first step toward therapy requires courage and determination, and Sherife aims to acknowledge that effort while helping clients move forward at a pace that feels right for them. She tailors her work to each individual's needs, focusing on collaboration, respect, and practical progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sherife uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of the work - she focuses on understanding each individual's perspective, offering empathy and support, and helping people find their own solutions to problems such as stress, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past traumatic events are affecting daily life; this approach helps people process distressing memories and build skills to reduce the emotional and physical impact of trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sherife works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the pace and techniques used as the relationship develops to ensure the care remains relevant and respectful of the person's priorities.

Online therapy with Sherife is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while traveling, to fit sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, and to choose the format that feels most manageable for sharing and reflection.
