Rosemin Shariff, BACP

Rosemin Shariff works from a client-centred perspective, emphasising warmth, respect and practical support. She draws on her 20 years of practice in the United Kingdom to help people manage grief, depression and difficult life changes. Rosemin explains things plainly and aims to meet clients where they are.

She has long experience supporting adults with anxiety, stress, addictions and issues around relationships and family. She also focuses on parenting concerns, eating difficulties, anger and low self-esteem. Hospice and end-of-life counselling is a particular area of interest alongside multicultural concerns.

Her background includes work in the NHS, community mental health teams, local addiction projects, day treatment services and faith-based settings. This has involved one-to-one counselling and some family work across a variety of care environments. Rosemin completed a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2007 and has two decades of clinical experience.

In sessions she uses a Person-Centred approach and draws on humanistic ideas to help clients explore feelings and choices. She emphasises listening first, then tailoring the way she works to what will help most. The focus can be insight, symptom relief or improved day-to-day functioning depending on the person’s goals.

Rosemin also brings personal and professional knowledge of South Asian British cultural issues and generational differences. That perspective informs how she talks about culture, family expectations and identity when those issues arise in therapy. She believes change takes courage and aims to support and empower each client’s next steps.

Client-centred work adapted for online care

Rosemin primarily practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship and listening closely to the person’s experience. This approach helps with grief, depression, anxiety and relationship concerns by allowing clients to explore feelings at their own pace.

She also draws on humanistic ideas that emphasise personal strengths and choice, which can support people working through life changes or burnout. Those methods aim to help people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Rosemin works collaboratively to identify which style and pace suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions so work feels relevant and manageable rather than fitting everyone into one model.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as formats were not specified in the supplied biography. Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a busy week. It can also allow shorter or more focused sessions when that helps someone stay consistent with their goals.
