Serife Dent, BACP

Serife Dent is a licensed therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and family conflicts. She brings a respectful, sensitive and compassionate approach to each meeting, adapting conversations and treatment plans to reflect the unique circumstances and goals of every client.

Trained to work with a range of concerns including emotional distress, relationship and family difficulties, and the effects of trauma and loss, she focuses on practical, person-focused care that meets clients where they are. Serife emphasizes collaboration, listening carefully to each person to tailor interventions that suit their needs and pace.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can require courage, Serife aims to make that first step easier by offering an encouraging and nonjudgmental space. She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and uses that foundation to guide ethical and client-centered practice. Her goal is to help clients build coping skills, improve relationships and find more balance in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Serife works from client-centered principles, which prioritize the individual's experience and emphasize empathetic listening, acceptance and collaborative goal-setting. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, make decisions and build self-understanding.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress and low mood. CBT is often helpful for learning techniques to cope with everyday challenges and improving emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Serife collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts sessions over time as progress and circumstances change.

Online therapy with Serife is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it possible to receive consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to fit into work, family and life commitments.
