Rosemin Shariff, BACP

Rosemin Shariff uses a client-centred approach to help people facing grief, loss and major life changes. She is Rosemin Shariff and she draws on 20 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. Her work focuses on depression, anxiety, stress and problems linked to relationships, family and parenting.

She pays close attention to cultural and generational differences. Her background includes work with South Asian British adults and families, and she brings that lived perspective into sessions when relevant. She also focuses on hospice and end-of-life issues and multicultural concerns.

Her experience spans the NHS, community mental health agencies, addiction projects, day treatment settings and local health centres. She has provided individual counselling and some family work, and has carried out home visiting support for bereaved people. Her practice aims to be warm and respectful.

In sessions she adopts a person-centred stance, meeting people where they are and adjusting the approach to fit each person’s goals. Rosemin believes people know their own story and have strengths to draw on, whether they want insight, symptom relief or improved day-to-day functioning.

She holds a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy completed in 2007 and is registered with BACP. Her professional path included work on counselling for depression and interpersonal approaches for mild to moderate depression. She offers support for a wide range of emotional and practical concerns.

Client-centred care and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what the person says and aims to build trust and understanding. This approach suits people working through grief, depression, relationship issues or life transitions.

Where interpersonal patterns are relevant, Rosemin's background with interpersonal approaches informs how she looks at relationships and mood. That perspective helps when losses, role changes or communication difficulties are part of the problem.

Deciding on the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and tailor the work to a person's goals and preferences. Together they will check how a method is working and adapt it over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the work, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring roles and busy days and allow people to continue care without travel.
