Sherin Begum , BACP

Sherin Begum is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She believes people hold knowledge about their own lives, and she supports them in using their strengths to move forward.

Her style is person-centred and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters right now and on practical steps to relieve pressure. She listens for patterns in relationships and emotions so clients can make clearer choices.

Sherin also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive self-criticism. She uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions.

An existential perspective helps when people question meaning, identity or major life changes. Motivational interviewing supports clients who want to find momentum for change and stronger commitment to their goals. Together these methods help people notice options and try things differently.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sherin works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, blended family issues, caregiver stress, fertility and communication problems. She holds BACP accreditation and practises from the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings so they can choose changes that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports people to try small, evidence-informed changes that often reduce worry or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That means discussing goals, trying techniques together and adjusting the plan as things change rather than sticking to one method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can fit around busy days or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or want to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity and to fit therapy into everyday life.
