About Duhan

Duhan Seherli is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the UK. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression, and works with a wider range of concerns including relationships, self-esteem and life changes. Duhan communicates in English and Turkish and offers sessions for international clients.

He favours a clear, conversational style in sessions. People can expect straightforward talk about thoughts and feelings, practical steps to manage distress, and space to reflect on difficult events. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and responsive to what each person brings.

Duhan combines approaches such as attachment-based work and client-centred methods to focus on how relationships and personal values affect everyday life. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviours. These methods are used to help with issues like coping with loss, managing anxiety, and improving communication.

In practice he often starts by mapping what someone wants to change and setting small, realistic goals. The work can include talking through painful memories, trying new ways of relating, and rehearsing alternative thinking patterns. Practical tools and homework may be suggested between sessions.

People commonly come to him for help with career stress, sleep and eating concerns, addiction-related worries, and questions about identity and intimacy. He describes the first step as simply reaching out and completing a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling sessions.

Using attachment, client-centred and CBT online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and patterns. It helps when trust, closeness or abandonment worries make everyday life harder. Client-centred therapy gives the person space to lead the conversation, with the counsellor reflecting back what they hear and helping the client make sense of their own priorities.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines through practical exercises and behaviour experiments. Together these approaches aim to tackle both the emotional roots of a problem and the day-to-day habits that keep it going.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods and goals suit the person's needs and preferences. That may change as therapy progresses, and Duhan will review what helps and what needs adapting.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shift work or busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to focus on practical skills, reflective conversation and consistent progress.
