About Duhan

Duhan Seherli is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also supports people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, addictions and bereavement. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and he accepts international clients.

Duhan aims to make sessions straightforward and direct. He encourages people to talk through what matters most to them and to notice how thoughts, feelings and behaviour link together. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps someone can try between meetings. He uses a mix of approaches to match the person and the problem rather than one fixed method.

His clinical influences include attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, and cognitive behavioural techniques. He may also draw on existential and Jungian perspectives when they fit the client’s concerns. These tools are used to look at relationships, patterns of thinking, and deeper personal meaning when relevant.

Duhan can help when guilt or shame are part of the problem by looking at how those feelings affect self-image and relationships. He listens for repeated patterns such as avoidance, control issues or attachment worries and works with clients to try different responses. Practical skills, reflective discussion and clearer understanding are common parts of his sessions.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The process is presented as a step-by-step way to see whether his style fits the person’s needs.

How approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how early bonds shape current responses to others and to feelings such as guilt, which can be useful when relationship patterns keep repeating.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens openly, reflects what he hears, and follows the client’s pace to understand feelings and decisions more clearly.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers straightforward tools to test unhelpful beliefs and to try different behaviours between sessions, which some people find helpful for anxiety and low mood.

Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together rather than imposing a single route.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when those are more practical for day-to-day life.
