Serife Dent , BACP

Serife Dent is a UK-based therapist with 4 years of professional experience. She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals her commitment to recognised professional standards. Serife has supported people coping with stress, anxiety and family conflicts, bringing a considerate and steady presence to each conversation.

She treats clients with respect, sensitivity and compassion, shaping dialogue and treatment plans around the specific needs presented. Serife believes in working collaboratively so that each person’s pace and priorities guide the sessions. Aware that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, she recognises that taking the first step is an important act of courage and affirms clients for beginning that process.

Her approach emphasises practical strategies alongside emotional exploration, adapting methods to suit individual goals. Whether someone is managing day-to-day stress, navigating relationship tensions, or addressing deeper emotional patterns, Serife aims to provide a tailored, empathetic space to help people move forward.

Approaches that shape online sessions and practical benefits

Serife uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach helps people who need empathy and understanding while they explore personal challenges and decide on next steps.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, useful for issues such as anxiety, stress, low mood and coping with life changes.

For relationship and family concerns, elements of Imago Relationship Therapy can be used to improve communication and deepen mutual understanding between partners. That work often focuses on rebuilding connection and addressing recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Serife collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they adjust the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support around work, family and daily life. These options help clients maintain continuity of care and choose formats that suit their routines and comfort levels.
