About Saifur

Dr. Saifur Rahman is a HCPC-registered practitioner based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

He keeps his approach simple and direct. In conversation he helps people name what is causing upset and choose small changes to try between sessions. He uses practical therapy methods to reduce intense reactions and to improve day-to-day coping. That includes work on thinking patterns, values-based choices and building better ways of relating to others.

Dr Rahman combines several well-known approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice inner experiences without being driven by them. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also applies client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on what the person finds most useful.

People bring a wide range of difficulties, from anger and relationship problems to grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, substance issues and career stress. He is also available to people exploring identity and intimacy-related worries, ADHD-related coping, and life transitions.

Practical steps guide the work. Sessions review recent events, try exercises in the room, and agree on small experiments to test in everyday life. Dr Rahman asks about what fits with each person’s life and adjusts the pace as needed. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Dr Rahman commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports choosing actions aligned with personal values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce intense reactions and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about the options in early sessions and pick methods that match the client’s goals and life circumstances. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasise values, thought work, behavioural experiments or a mix of techniques.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. If you want to arrange sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking. The therapist uses straightforward, exercise-based sessions that translate into short tasks or experiments to carry out between meetings, which can make it easier to apply changes during ordinary days.
