Rosemin Shariff , BACP

Rosemin Shariff is an accredited counsellor based in London with two decades of professional experience supporting adults through grief, life transitions, depression, relationship and family concerns. She completed a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2007 and has built a varied clinical background that spans NHS services, local health centres, community mental health organisations, addiction projects, mosque-based provision and day treatment facilities.

She brings particular sensitivity to multicultural and cross-cultural factors, drawing on personal experience of South Asian British family dynamics and generational differences. That lived understanding informs her work with South Asian British families and adults and underpins a wider commitment to increasing culturally informed mental health support for minority communities.

Her therapeutic stance is rooted in Person-Centred and Humanistic principles, with influences from structural approaches and emotional freedom systems. She is also a certified Counselling for Depression practitioner and has trained in Interpersonal Psychotherapy - qualifications that inform her work with mild to moderate depression and related difficulties. Rosemin describes the client as the expert on their own story and aims to offer compassion, respect and warmth while calibrating treatment to each person’s goals.

Throughout her practice she emphasises collaboration, helping clients pursue insight, symptom relief or improved functioning according to their priorities. She holds accreditation with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and applies her experience to support people seeking change, empowerment and greater wellbeing.

Person-Centred Support and Online Therapeutic Options

Client-Centred Therapy, also known as Person-Centred Therapy, focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s experience and strengths guide the work. This approach helps with grief, life changes, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties by prioritising understanding, acceptance and the client’s own pace of change.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a time-limited approach that targets patterns in relationships and communication that contribute to mood difficulties. IPT can be helpful for people experiencing mild to moderate depression or relationship-related stress by clarifying interpersonal issues and developing practical strategies for change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rosemin works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as therapy progresses so the plan remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy schedule and access licensed professionals from different locations while focusing on meaningful therapeutic progress.
