Serife Dent, BACP

Serife Dent is a UK-licensed therapist with four years of professional experience who focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety and family conflicts. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet the unique needs of every client.

Serife recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and acknowledges clients for beginning that process. She holds the BACP credential - membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Serife aims to combine empathic listening with practical, tailored strategies so clients can address immediate concerns while working toward longer-term goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Serife works from several well-established approaches to tailor support to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist helps clarify feelings and values - this approach can help with self-esteem, life transitions and building emotional insight.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is structured and problem-focused, helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical coping strategies - it is often used for anxiety, stress and depression.

Imago Relationship Therapy concentrates on the dynamics between partners and improves communication and understanding in relationships, making it useful for couples dealing with recurring conflict or intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Serife collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches to suit the situation.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to continue work even when life is busy. These options allow registered professionals to offer consistent care across different circumstances while adapting to the practical needs of clients.
