About Serife
Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, career strain and low self-esteem. Divorce and separation is listed among the issues she helps people with, alongside family problems and intimacy-related difficulties.
Serife draws on a mix of approaches to shape sessions. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what each person brings, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want to make specific changes and Imago relationship ideas for relational work.
With four years of experience in the United Kingdom, Serife adapts conversations and plans to fit each person. She aims to be sensitive to identity and background and states she treats everyone with respect. Sessions are practical and conversational, focusing on clear steps people can try between meetings.

How Serife adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
Serife combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in a way that aims to be down-to-earth and practical. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems and offers practical steps to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Serife will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to match their goals, preferences and situation. She aims to agree a plan together and checks in as progress is made so adjustments can happen naturally.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss how to make sessions suit everyday life without promising a particular service.
