Duhan Seherli, BACP

Duhan Seherli is a UK-credentialed therapist with five years of professional experience and membership in the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. He has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression, and brings a calm, steady approach to helping clients explore their concerns and build coping skills.

He emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. Sessions focus on understanding personal patterns, improving relationships, and developing practical strategies for day-to-day challenges. Duhan supports clients through the initial steps of seeking help, acknowledging that beginning therapy often requires courage and commitment.

In his practice he integrates several clinical approaches to tailor work to each person's needs, and he offers therapy in English and Turkish for clients in the United Kingdom and beyond. He closes with a reflective note borrowed from a well-known saying: "Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakes."

Approaches and online therapy with Duhan Seherli

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, or recurring relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respectful acceptance, giving individuals space to explore their feelings and build self-understanding; it often helps with low self-esteem, life transitions, and developing personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with sleeping or eating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Duhan works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are revisited over time so the work remains aligned with each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone enable face-to-face conversation from different locations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter or more frequent contact. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments, accommodate different communication styles, and access consistent support whether clients are local or international.
