About Srab

Srab Der is a counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of clinical experience. He works with young adults and other adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. He also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem issues.

He uses a mix of practical talking therapies to help people understand what keeps a problem going and to build new ways of coping. His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as looking at how past experiences shape current reactions.

Srab can talk through career-related stress, struggles with attention or mood, and relationship patterns that feel stuck. He also offers support around complicated family backgrounds, adoption and foster care issues, body image and intimacy-related concerns. He aims to help people facing change, grief, chronic illness or caregiving stress.

He practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. He accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

His approach is collaborative and direct. He encourages practical strategies alongside exploring difficult memories and attachment patterns. That combination can help people in their 18–30s manage early adult pressures such as starting work, leaving home, and relationship uncertainty.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety, uncertainty or low mood get in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current connections and intimacy, and it can be useful for people who notice repeating relationship patterns.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options with the client and decide together which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That conversation can include trying different techniques and adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, or have a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows therapists to use worksheets, behavioural experiments and skill practice between meetings, which complements ACT and CBT approaches. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and pacing to fit study, work or caregiving commitments.
