About Serife

Serife Dent is a counsellor who draws on a person-centred approach to support people through stress, anxiety and family conflict. She works from a respectful, compassionate stance and aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs. Serife acknowledges how hard it can feel to get help and speaks in a direct, warm way to make the first steps easier.

She combines client-centred principles with practical cognitive behavioural ideas. That means sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person now, while also looking at thoughts and behaviours that might be keeping problems going.

Background and approach

She also uses elements of psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns that repeat in relationships. Serife has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

She also supports people facing career stress, life changes and issues around intimacy and connection. Typical conversations may cover family of origin issues, blended family or fatherhood concerns, and difficulties such as avoidance, dissociation or feelings of emptiness. She can also talk through relationship challenges, commitment worries and body image struggles.

Sessions are delivered in English and offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Serife works with each person to build a plan that fits their situation and goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering empathy and acceptance while the client sets the pace and topics. It helps people who want a safe, listening space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters next.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and practical coping during life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try approaches that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as they go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written conversations or who need flexible timing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring duties and everyday life.
