Rosemin Shariff , BACP

Rosemin Shariff is an accredited counsellor based in London with two decades of professional experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional challenges. She has developed particular expertise in grief and loss, coping with life changes, depression, and relationship and family difficulties, drawing on long-term work across NHS services, community mental health agencies, local addiction projects, mosques, day treatment facilities and home-visiting bereavement work.

Her practice reflects a strong sensitivity to multicultural and cross-generational issues, informed by personal experience working with South Asian British families and an understanding of the tensions that can arise between immigrant and British-born generations. Rosemin seeks to bridge personal cultural knowledge and professional practice to improve representation and relevance of mental health support for minority communities.

Therapeutically she is influenced by Person-Centred and Humanistic perspectives, alongside structural and emotional freedom approaches, and prioritises meeting clients where they are. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that can aim for insight, symptom relief or improved day-to-day functioning depending on the client’s goals. Rosemin completed a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2007, carried out masters research on home visiting for the bereaved, became a certified Counselling for Depression practitioner on joining the NHS in 2012, and more recently qualified in Interpersonal Psychotherapy. She is also a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
