Dr. Saifur Rahman, HCPC

Dr. Saifur Rahman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. He also works with those coping with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, self-esteem struggles and issues around intimacy and family. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

Saifur describes simplicity as a core value in his work. He keeps things direct and practical so conversations stay focused on what matters now. People can expect a calm, steady approach that aims to make progress without overcomplication.

He brings five years of clinical experience and registration with the HCPC. That background has included work in a range of settings and with varied concerns, informing a flexible way of working rather than a single formula. Saifur uses several evidence-based approaches to find what fits each person.

In session he listens first and then helps people try small, manageable steps. Those steps might involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviours, or clarifying what matters most. He also pays attention to life context such as work, family roles and identity concerns when planning next steps.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to the individual. Saifur supports coaching-style goals as well as help for deeper emotional issues such as trauma, eating or addiction problems. He aims to help people leave sessions with clearer options and practical next moves.

Practical therapy approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters most in their lives. It supports values-led action and can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple experiments and behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that fit the person. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted as progress is tracked.

Online sessions are offered by registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations where non-verbal cues help, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments while offering regular contact and practical tools.
