Dr. Saifur Rahman, HCPC

Dr. Saifur Rahman works with people facing midlife crisis concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, addictions and issues around self-esteem and career. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

Dr Rahman keeps therapy straightforward and practical. He uses clear steps and everyday language so people can make changes without feeling overwhelmed. He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to shape sessions around each person's goals.

In the room he focuses on what a person wants to change now. That can mean spotting unhelpful habits, testing small behaviour changes, or working on values and priorities. Some sessions look at thinking patterns, while others concentrate on practical actions to ease daily stress and improve sleep or relationships.

He has five years of practice and is registered with HCPC. That registration is listed exactly as HCPC. His work has covered a range of settings in the United Kingdom and with people from different backgrounds.

People can expect a collaborative approach. The therapist will listen, ask practical questions, and agree on simple steps to try between sessions. If another method seems a better fit, he will discuss different options and adapt the plan to fit what the person needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions in line with their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful habits and improve mood and sleep. Client-Centred Therapy centres on a non-judgemental listening stance where the person sets the pace and the counsellor reflects and clarifies to support self-directed change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match the person's needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting conversations into a busy week and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions or when someone is abroad, since international clients are accepted. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available online and in-person options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
