About Saifur

Dr. Saifur Rahman helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles and career or life-purpose questions. He also supports those coping with parenting strain, sleep or eating issues, ADHD and intimacy-related problems.

His style is plain and practical. Sessions focus on clarity and small steps that add up. He uses a client-centred approach, listening first and shaping work around each person’s needs. He combines this with tools from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy when useful.

Dr Rahman is registered with HCPC. He has five years of practice experience and works with people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are run in English and he accepts international clients, so people outside the UK can enquire about working together.

In a typical meeting he helps clients spot patterns, set simple goals and try small experiments between sessions. He aims to make therapy manageable for busy lives and to reduce feel‑ings of overwhelm without adding complexity.

People who start with him find the focus is on what matters to them now. He encourages practical change alongside reflection on values and meaning. If you want straightforward support to get unstuck, he offers a clear, compassionate way forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means the therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead and helps people find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, acceptance and space to make sense of difficult feelings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages notice of thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It pairs that noticing with clear action tied to what matters to someone, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, useful for worry, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few ways of working and adjusting based on what helps most.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online or in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep therapy going across locations for international clients who wish to continue sessions.
