Rosemin Shariff, BACP

Rosemin Shariff is an accredited counsellor based in London with 20 years of professional experience supporting adults through grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and major life changes. She works with a broad range of presenting issues including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting and career challenges, and compassion fatigue, bringing a steady emphasis on compassion, respect and warmth to each therapeutic relationship.

Her practice reflects a strong sensitivity to multicultural and cross-generational factors. Much of her clinical work has involved South Asian British families and adults, informed by personal experience navigating generational and cultural differences. She aims to bridge her understanding of eastern cultural contexts with professional mental health practice to improve representation and culturally attuned support for minority communities.

Rosemin has worked across varied settings, providing individual and family therapy in the NHS, local health centres, community mental health agencies, local addiction projects, mosques and day treatment facilities, and has also carried out home visiting counselling for bereaved people. She holds a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, completed in 2007, and is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is also a certified Counselling for Depression practitioner and qualified in Interpersonal Psychotherapy, the latter aimed at helping people with mild to moderate depression.

Her therapeutic stance draws on person-centred and humanistic principles, with influences from structural and emotional freedom approaches. She prioritises meeting clients where they are, collaborating to tailor treatment to each person’s goals and preferences, and supporting both insight and practical symptom relief as part of the journey toward a more fulfilling life.

Client-Centered and Interpersonal Support Online

Rosemin primarily uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person’s own resources and insight are central to change. This approach helps when someone wants to explore identity, self-esteem, relationship patterns or the emotional impact of life transitions.

She is also trained in Interpersonal Psychotherapy, a time-limited method that looks at how relationships and life changes affect mood and daily functioning. IPT can be useful for people experiencing mild to moderate depression or those who want to address difficulties tied to role changes and interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rosemin collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting pacing and focus as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, caregiving and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life and access support from home while working with a licensed professional experienced in multicultural and bereavement-related concerns.
