About Saifur

Dr. Saifur Rahman is a HCPC-registered practitioner in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, grief, parenting pressures, and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use at home and at work.

He keeps the pace straightforward and direct. Conversations are down-to-earth and aimed at small, manageable changes. He uses plain language rather than clinical jargon and centres sessions on what a person wants to do differently.

His background includes work in clinical settings and therapeutic practice over five years. That experience shapes an approach that mixes talking, practical exercises, and goal-setting. People can expect a blend of reflective discussion and concrete tasks between sessions.

Therapeutic methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Client-Centred Therapy among others. These methods are used to address symptoms, daily coping, and longer-term patterns that affect relationships and parenting.

Dr. Rahman also works with issues such as body image, codependency, communication problems, coping with disasters, divorce and separation, and life purpose. He accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

To begin, the usual route is to follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and still act in line with what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes by encouraging values-led action rather than battling thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It includes practical techniques such as activity scheduling and testing unhelpful beliefs, which can help with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s own perspective at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens closely and supports the person to make their own choices and find their own solutions to relationship and parenting stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the person’s goals and day-to-day life. Decisions about which methods to use are made collaboratively and can change as needs change.

Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around parenting, work shifts or travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require travel. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they suit an online appointment.
