About Saifur
Dr. Saifur Rahman is a HCPC-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions and a range of related concerns. He also supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, self-esteem issues and major life changes.
His way of working is straightforward and practical. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then try different ways of responding. He uses written tasks, structured exercises and clear behavioural steps so people can test what helps between meetings.
His practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred approaches. That means work can include spotting thinking patterns, clarifying values, and focusing on small actions that link to personal goals. Solution-focused ideas are used when a brief, goal-directed plan is helpful.
People can expect a calm, focused approach that favours clear explanations and simple techniques. Dr Rahman combines short-term strategies for immediate relief with longer term work on patterns that keep problems returning. He often sets practical tasks and reviews progress each session.
He works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the online booking flow.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Dr Rahman commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours through short experiments and homework, which can be easy to share and review in digital sessions. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, values-driven actions; it often involves mindfulness exercises and practical goal-setting that suit remote appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That might start with a few structured CBT sessions and shift towards ACT or client-centred conversations depending on how the work progresses.
The profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow focused work from wherever is most convenient. Shorter check-ins, written tasks sent between meetings and screen-shared worksheets are practical ways online sessions can be arranged without changing the therapeutic focus.
