About Sherin
Sherin Begum is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with low self‑esteem, facing depression, or trying to cope with life changes. She approaches each person as the expert on their own story and works alongside them to find clearer direction.
In sessions she focuses on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
That can mean talking through family problems, improving communication, or finding ways to manage worry and low mood. She uses plain language and practical steps rather than jargon, so people leave with things they can try between meetings. Sherin draws on Existential ideas to help people name what matters to them and to look at meaning in their lives.
She also uses Client‑Centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the client's experience and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. These approaches are adapted to each person's needs and goals. Her wider interests include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and recovery after relationship breakdown.
Sherin also supports people affected by serious illness such as cancer and those coping with forgiveness work. Sessions are conducted in English and are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
How Sherin uses different approaches online
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, values and the life choices that matter to them. It often focuses on questions about purpose, responsibility and how to live with uncertainty, which can help when someone feels empty or stuck. Client‑Centered Therapy puts the client's experience at the heart of the session and relies on careful listening, reflection and support to help people find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is useful for problems like anxiety, depression and stress because it breaks down concerns into manageable parts and suggests exercises to practise between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sherin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. This is a shared process that can change as needs evolve over time.
Online therapy makes those approaches flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow more personal conversation and non‑verbal connection, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check‑in, and text messaging offers ongoing written contact between meetings. These formats help people access therapy reliably from different settings and at times that work for them.
