About Serife

Serife Dent is a counsellor who uses a client-focused style to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship tensions. She works in the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience to conversations about family conflict, grief and self-esteem. Serife writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel safe and straightforward for someone feeling overwhelmed.

She adapts sessions to each person's needs, shaping the dialogue and plan together rather than following a fixed script.

Background and approach

That means practical techniques when someone needs coping tools, and space to explore deeper patterns when emotions and history matter. Serife blends client-centred listening with approaches that look at unhelpful thoughts and relationship dynamics. Common concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, anger and depression, and career or life transitions.

She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, blended family issues and questions about identity, including LGBT matters. Sessions may touch on family of origin problems, guilt, shame or body image when these affect day-to-day functioning. Serife holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her professional credential.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so counselling can fit around work and caring responsibilities. Sessions are provided in English and international clients are not accepted at this time. Beginning therapy usually involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Serife encourages people to take the step when they feel ready, and she aims to make each session a practical conversation about change.

How Serife's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The counsellor reflects feelings and helps the person find their own solutions, which is useful for stress, grief and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first, adapting the plan as progress is made. This happens collaboratively so people feel involved in what they try.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments.
