Serife Dent , BACP

Serife Dent is a UK-licensed therapist with four years of professional experience who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, and family conflicts. Holding the BACP credential - a membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to her work.

Serife individualizes conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's particular circumstances and goals. She believes in meeting clients where they are and shaping therapy around their needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Acknowledging that beginning therapy often takes courage, she offers encouragement and practical support to those taking the first step. Serife aims to create an environment where concerns about stress, anxiety, and family relationships can be explored and addressed through tailored, collaborative care.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Serife Dent draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore feelings and priorities while the therapist follows the client’s lead; it is useful for building self-awareness and coping with life challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process. Serife works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work evolves and as different issues arise.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other settings. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow therapy to continue around work and family commitments, and enable ongoing support when in-person visits are not practical.
