About Saifur
Dr. Saifur Rahman helps people deal with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports those coping with trauma, addiction, grief, low self‑esteem and life changes. His clear, down‑to‑earth manner aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful from the first session.
Saifur keeps things simple and practical. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that add up to real change. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
He works in a collaborative way, listening first to what matters most to each person. Therapy time is used to set clear goals, practise new skills, and reflect on progress. People are invited to notice what helps them feel more confident and able to cope day to day.
Saifur is registered with the HCPC. He has five years' clinical experience and has worked across health services and private practice in the United Kingdom. That background shapes a practical approach grounded in everyday problems and solutions.
Alongside core concerns like mood and anxiety, he gives particular attention to issues such as body image, codependency, communication problems and compassion fatigue. He aims to help people build routines and habits that support better sleep, eating, work-life balance and relationships.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It uses exercises and values-based goals to guide behaviour change, which can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical techniques such as behavioural experiments and thought records to test unhelpful beliefs and build more helpful habits for mood and sleep problems.
Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, listening approach that helps people feel heard and understood. That space can support exploration of identity, grief, self‑esteem and relationship concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It may also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that suit different rhythms of life. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
