About Saifur
Dr. Saifur Rahman helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression, addiction and life changes. He offers straightforward support for grief, anger, low self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, and concerns about intimacy and body image.
He also works with people facing career challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD and questions about life purpose. Saifur keeps therapy simple and practical. Sessions focus on small, clear steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
He uses familiar, evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful habits and make decisions that match their values. He is registered with the HCPC. Over five years he has worked across settings that include NHS and independent practice.
This experience shapes a pragmatic style that aims to be calm and down-to-earth rather than theoretical. In sessions he combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with client-centred and solution-focused elements. That mix helps with managing anxious thoughts, improving communication and setting realistic goals.
Therapy is collaborative - the person and therapist decide what to try together. Saifur offers therapy in English and sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients by online formats. Appointments are delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.
He explains the process clearly and helps people take the next step at a pace they find comfortable.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and finding direction after big life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, mood and coping. Client-Centred Therapy creates a supportive, non-judgemental space where a person’s own goals shape the work and pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made and different tools are tried.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, reflective exercises and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping a steady place for continued support.
