About Serife
Serife Dent is a counsellor practising from the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people seeking help. Serife works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and family issues.
Serife draws on client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes.
Background and approach
Her work includes elements from psychodynamic ideas and Motivational Interviewing to help people find motivation and understand repeating patterns. In a session Serife listens closely and adapts the conversation to the individual's needs. She will help set clear, realistic goals and agree small, achievable steps to work on between sessions.
This approach suits people who want practical tools alongside time to reflect. Serife has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed among her credentials. She has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and self-esteem struggles, among other concerns.
Sessions can include coaching-style conversations when helpful. People come to Serife for help with life changes, career stress, intimacy and anger issues, and complicated family histories. She aims to create a calm space where issues are talked through honestly and solutions are rooted in each person's situation.

Online support
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Serife will discuss options and make decisions together with the person, matching methods to their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means the approach can change as needs shift over time.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when written reflection helps. These formats make it easier to arrange regular appointments and keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
