About Saifur
Dr. Saifur Rahman is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the United Kingdom and has five years' experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, self-esteem and career challenges, among others.
He keeps sessions straightforward. He prefers clear conversations and practical steps rather than long theoretical explanations. Clients can expect short-term goals alongside space to look at longer patterns that keep problems returning.
His approach blends several talking therapies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to clarify values and tolerate difficult feelings while moving towards what matters. Client-Centred Therapy gives time for the person to be heard and understood without pressure to perform.
Sessions also draw on Solution-Focused and Existential ideas when relevant, for example setting small achievable changes or exploring life meaning during transitions. Codependency and body image concerns are listed among his focus areas and are discussed in straightforward terms rather than with labels.
He works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled through the site's online options.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move towards actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns such as people-pleasing that prevent a person living by their own priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and works on practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often involves setting small experiments or behaviour plans to test if new ways of acting bring different results.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises being listened to and understood. This creates space to explore issues such as grief, intimacy worries or identity questions at a steady pace.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods and adjust based on the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on short-term solutions or longer exploration.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quieter check-ins or shorter sessions when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care while working around everyday schedules.
