About Rosemin

Rosemin Shariff is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on grief and loss, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, and multicultural issues. Sessions draw on client-centred principles and a humanistic perspective to support adults facing these problems.

She has worked in a range of settings including the NHS, local health centres, community mental health services, addiction projects, mosques and day treatment services. Much of her practice has involved supporting South Asian British adults and families, informed by her own experience of generational and cultural differences within immigrant and first- and second-generation communities.

Her clinical style emphasises listening and responding to the person in front of her. She treats the therapeutic relationship as a space to talk through loss, changing roles, low mood, stress and difficult family dynamics. The approach aims to build on the person’s strengths and personal story rather than imposing fixed solutions.

Rosemin completed a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2007 and has used home-visiting work with bereaved people as a focus of her early research. She later joined the NHS and practised counselling in that setting, gaining further experience in depression and interpersonal difficulties.

She also has experience in counselling for depression work and interpersonal psychotherapy to support mild to moderate depression. Her practice includes a particular interest in hospice and end-of-life counselling and in responses to addiction and compassion fatigue.

People who contact her usually want practical, human-centred discussion about their situation. Before booking, confirm the current session arrangements and formats offered.

Client-Centred practice and online counselling options

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and treating the person as the expert in their own life. The counsellor offers non-judgemental attention and reflects what is said to help clarify feelings and choices; this approach is often used for grief, life changes and relationship difficulties.

Humanistic ideas that influence her work highlight personal strengths and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. These ideas support people who want to understand how family, culture and life events shape their reactions and wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences with the person and adapt what happens in sessions accordingly. This means discussing which methods feel most helpful and adjusting them over time as circumstances change.

Session arrangements are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone sessions use less bandwidth, while video allows for face-to-face conversation; check the available formats and choose the one that suits your daily routine.
