Rosemin Shariff, BACP

Counsellor and BACP member with 20 years' experience, Rosemin Shariff works in the United Kingdom and helps adults with grief, loss, depression and life changes. She also takes on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career matters.

Rosemin uses a client-centred approach that places the person's experience first. She draws on person-centred and humanistic ideas and adapts how she works to the needs of each person. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of their situation so they can decide on next steps.

Much of her practice has involved multicultural work, especially with South Asian British adults and families. She combines personal knowledge of eastern cultures with professional experience to address generational and cultural tensions that can shape presenting problems.

Her background includes roles in the NHS, community mental health services, local health centres, addiction projects, mosques and day treatment settings. She has provided individual and some family therapy and has substantial experience offering bereavement support, including home visiting counselling for the bereaved.

Rosemin completed a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2007. She subsequently trained in Counselling for Depression and later qualified in Interpersonal Psychotherapy to work with mild to moderate depression. She works with each person to agree realistic goals and practical steps for change.
