About Serife
Serife Dent is a counsellor registered with the BACP with four years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety and family conflict alongside a wide range of related concerns such as depression, grief and relationship issues. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom.
Serife uses straightforward, practical methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centred approaches to focus on what matters most to each person and Imago Relationship Therapy when relationship patterns are a concern.
In practice she helps people break down problems into small steps. Conversations aim to clarify what is causing the most distress and which changes are achievable. She will discuss options like problem-focused work, reflective exploration, or motivational techniques based on the person’s goals.
Serife has experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, intimacy and sexual issues, anger and career pressures. She also works with matters such as blended family difficulties, bereavement, control and commitment concerns, and feelings of emptiness or dissociation.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She will outline a plan and check progress as therapy continues. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session through the online booking flow.
How Serife applies practical approaches in online sessions
Serife combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy in ways that are meant to be straightforward and useful. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-centred work puts the person’s priorities at the centre and supports exploration of feelings and choices without pressure. Imago Relationship Therapy examines repeating patterns between partners and helps people try different ways of connecting when relationships are a concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with the person, compare how each method might help, and agree a plan together. That collaboration helps focus sessions on clear goals and measurable steps rather than vague aims.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to proceed, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use time for short check-ins or longer therapy slots depending on what is most helpful.
