About Serife

Serife Dent is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on client-centred and evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She meets people where they are and aims to build a respectful, compassionate working relationship that focuses on the person's priorities. Her approach is straightforward and practical, with conversations tailored to each individual's needs.

With four years of professional experience, Serife offers a calm space to talk through family conflict, relationship difficulties and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, anger and the strain of life changes. She can help with intimacy-related issues, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Sessions combine listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy when helpful, and reflective work influenced by psychodynamic ideas.

Motivational interviewing is used to support change and decision making. Imago relationship ideas inform work around communication and connection in close relationships. Serife adapts the pace and focus of work to what feels useful for each person.

Conversations often include practical steps to try between sessions and space to process feelings and patterns. She explains options in simple terms and checks in about progress as therapy continues. Sessions are offered in English and are organised online through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

People start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions via the platform.

Online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor creates a non-judgemental space and follows the person's own concerns, which helps when someone is struggling with stress, grief or low self-esteem. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) gives clear, practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing supports someone who wants to make a change but feels unsure; it uses open questions and collaborative planning to build motivation.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue, while phone sessions can fit a short check-in or a break at work. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick reflections, ongoing support or when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
