Serife Dent

Serife Dent is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working to help people through difficult times. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. Her profile notes a focus on eating and food-related issues among other concerns.

With four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Serife draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit different situations. She often combines client-centred listening with practical ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy when clients are coping with anxiety, stress or low mood. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to consider how past relationships and family of origin issues can influence present patterns.

Serife has worked with people facing relationship and family difficulties, including blended family challenges, fatherhood issues and divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, body image worries and struggles with guilt and shame. Her additional focus areas include control and commitment concerns, dissociation, and ageing-related questions.

Serife is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She speaks English and provides services within the United Kingdom. The profile states that she tailors sessions to individual needs and recognises the courage it takes to start therapy.

The therapist asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to her availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Serife’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist offers non-judgemental space and follows the person’s lead to understand what matters most to them. This approach suits people wanting support to clarify feelings and make choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage stress and address low mood or body image concerns. Clients often leave with clear tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Serife will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. She aims to make these decisions together so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work or caring responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use a break in their day for a session. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep continuity when circumstances change, and Serife can explain practical arrangements when you book.
