Serife DentBACP

Serife Dent is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She works with adults who are coping with grief, depression, career pressures and life changes. Serife also supports people facing intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to family dynamics and parenting roles.

She brings four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her credential. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, with practical steps and time to talk through what matters most. Serife aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect, and she emphasises collaboration when people begin therapy.

Her work draws on several approaches to suit different concerns. Client-Centred Therapy helps clients set the pace and focus, while Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be used to spot patterns and build new coping skills. Psychodynamic ideas support understanding how past experiences affect present feelings and relationships.

Serife often blends methods to match the person’s goals. She also uses Motivational Interviewing techniques when people want to clarify changes they’re ready to make. Imago Relationship Therapy informs her work around communication and connection in relationships.

If you are thinking about therapy during pregnancy, childbirth or parenthood, Serife includes those topics among her focus areas and can help talk through related stresses and transitions. To start, follow the site’s sign-up flow and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Serife’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through stress, parenting worries or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers a clear way to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to set goals and suggest methods that match those aims. People are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as their needs change.

The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, appointments and family life. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel, or choose a communication style that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversation to work well at a distance, helping people make steady progress without promising any specific outcome.
