About Saifur
Dr. Saifur Rahman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the pressures of parenting. He supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, low self‑esteem and issues with sleep or eating.
He also works with people wrestling with career decisions, life changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue. His style is straightforward and calm. He values simplicity and practical steps.
Sessions aim to make small changes that add up, rather than overwhelming plans that are hard to follow.
Background and approach
Dr Rahman uses a mix of talking therapies to suit each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client‑centred methods to help people notice what matters and take manageable steps towards it. He also uses existential and solution‑focused ideas when they fit a person’s goals.
He has five years of practice experience and is registered with the HCPC. His work has included clinical roles and teaching, and he brings that combination to sessions by explaining ideas clearly and checking what works for each person. Sessions are offered in English and Dr Rahman accepts international clients.
He aims to keep the process simple: identify priorities, try one or two practical strategies, then review what helps. The focus is on building clarity, confidence and small, steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and parenting stress because it focuses on practical values and steady action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is helpful for sleep problems, anxiety, depression and managing cravings or compulsive behaviours.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit a person's needs and goals. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them if they do not fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use face‑to‑face conversation when they want it. Phone sessions can be a shorter check‑in or useful when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text‑based messaging let someone keep a talking rhythm between sessions and fit support around work or childcare. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily routines.
