About Serife
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience, Serife Dent focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns and relationship issues. She works primarily using client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. Serife also draws on Imago relationship work and motivational interviewing when helpful for conversation and change.
Serife listens to each person’s situation and adapts how she talks and plans sessions to suit practical needs. Sessions use straightforward language and focus on what people want to change or understand. She supports work on grief, self-esteem, intimacy and anger, and helps people facing career pressures or major life changes.
Additional areas of attention include long-term patterns such as avoidant or dependent tendencies, family of origin problems, blended family issues and separation or divorce. She also addresses body image, commitment and control concerns, dissociation, and issues linked to ageing and fatherhood.
Her approach mixes short-term skills with deeper reflection. Cognitive tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Psychodynamic ideas are used to consider how past relationships affect current patterns. Imago methods are used in conversations about relational connection and communication.
Sessions are conducted in English. Serife works with individual adults on the wide range of concerns listed and uses a subscription model for payment that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online work with this approach involves open conversation, clarification and support for the client to set priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to test thoughts and build new habits. In online sessions this can mean setting small experiments between meetings and reviewing how they went. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past relationships and how they show up now; online discussions can explore those patterns and link them to current difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods to try first and will adjust based on the client’s goals and preferences. That discussion happens during early sessions and continues as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face conversation, while others prefer a phone call to conserve data or have a quieter check-in. Registered or accredited professionals can explain available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first session.
