Dr. Saifur Rahman helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and trauma. He also supports concerns such as self-esteem, parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties, career uncertainty, ADHD and life changes.

He is identified as HCPC and practises from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English and to international clients. He keeps therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that people can try between meetings.

Background and approach

He uses a blend of approaches to suit each person rather than one fixed method. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways to handle feelings and decisions. Over five years of practice inform his work.

He brings an evidence-informed stance while keeping language simple and direct. People can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on what matters most to them. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred ideas among other approaches.

Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. The format can be chosen to fit a person’s schedule or communication preferences. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. After that, scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability. This process helps match needs with practical therapy steps and a helpful working plan.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-driven action. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person sets the pace and direction of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, preferences and situation. Sessions may draw on ACT, CBT and client-centred ideas, adapting techniques as needs change and as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent, brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel without losing continuity of care.
