About Saifur

Dr. Saifur Rahman helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. He works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and food-related issues, and self-esteem concerns. His style aims to keep things simple and direct so people can make steady progress without extra confusion.

He draws on five years of clinical practice and registration with the HCPC. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as thinking through patterns that keep problems going. He listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the work to match their goals.

Therapeutic methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Dr Rahman uses these approaches alongside existential and solution-focused ideas to help with clarity, values and real-life problem solving. That means looking at thoughts and behaviours, while also discussing meaning and what gives life direction.

People meet him for help with body image, codependency, communication and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain, career decisions, and coping with life changes. He also supports those facing bipolar, ADHD or compassion fatigue concerns, and issues linked to addiction or separation.

Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. International clients are accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats directly when they start the process.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting led by them, and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles around eating or body image. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy offers a space where the therapist listens without judgement and follows the person's lead, which can support self-esteem, grief work and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.

The biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with a therapist from another country while keeping appointments scheduled around daily routines.
