Dr Zahra Shariff
Integrative counselling psychologistAbout Me
Are you looking to increase awareness and ability to respond to unwanted thoughts and feelings with openness, curiosity and compassion? Are you looking to reconnect with what is important to you and create a greater sense of balance? I work with people experiencing a full range of emotional difficulties and life challenges.
I offer short- and long-term psychological therapy to individuals (adults and young people), couples and families. My therapeutic approach is integrative and centred on the individual to provide meaningful interventions to sustain positive outcomes. I hold an open mind when asking about what a person requires help with and strive to identify strengths alongside areas they are struggling in.
I understand that the first session can be daunting and that a person may be feeling apprehensive about the process. Please get in touch and we can think together about the types of help you might benefit from at this time.

Training and qualifications
I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist and my practice adheres to the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) Standards and the British Psychology Society (BPS) Code of Ethics and Conduct. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all so I provide tailored evidence-based psychological interventions which draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment Theory and Systemic practice to help you find your own ‘fit’.
My experience includes positions in the NHS and Local Authority, and I am currently working as a Counselling Psychologist in inpatient services and in private practice. As well as working as a therapist in the last 5 years, I provide clinical supervision and personal therapy to trainees and consultation to professionals.
