About Saifur
Dr. Saifur Rahman is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has five years of clinical experience. He works with common young adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing depression, trauma, addictions and issues around intimacy and identity. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Saifur keeps things straightforward in sessions. He focuses on clear goals and practical steps rather than complicated theory. Conversations cover current problems, patterns that keep difficulties going, and small experiments people can try between meetings.
He uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred ways of listening, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That means work ranges from noticing values and actions, to looking at thoughts and behaviours, to using the client’s own priorities to guide change. Sessions aim to be active and focused on what the client wants to change.
People often come for help with career stress, relationship confusion, or feeling stuck after a big life change. He also addresses body image, codependency, communication problems and addictive behaviours. The emphasis is on workable strategies for everyday life rather than lengthy academic discussion.
Before a first session people complete a short questionnaire to match with his practice and then schedule an appointment. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time. If international sessions are needed, language support is available in English.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression and anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises careful listening and supporting the client to find their own direction rather than following a fixed agenda.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and responses to different techniques, and adapt what they try based on what the client finds useful. That means early sessions often include a mix of inquiry, practical exercises and planning small steps to test between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work shifts or travel, and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions at times that suit daily routines. Many people find it helps to keep momentum between meetings by completing agreed tasks and reflecting on progress in the time between sessions.
