About Saifur
Dr. Saifur Rahman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma. He also supports those coping with addiction, grief, parenting pressures, career questions and body image or self-esteem concerns.
His work includes practical support for sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and the hard emotions that follow major life changes. Saifur keeps things simple and clear in sessions. He uses plain language and a calm, steady approach to help people find direction.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make ideas feel doable rather than overwhelming. He draws on a mix of approaches, including existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural tools and solution-focused work. That mix lets him tailor conversations to what matters most to each person.
Clients can expect a balance of reflective discussion and practical steps to try between sessions. Saifur is registered with the HCPC. He practised in clinical and teaching roles before moving into online counselling, bringing five years of direct practice experience.
He sees clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients in English. Typical sessions focus on identifying what matters, spotting unhelpful patterns and testing small changes that build confidence. The aim is clearer choices and steadier coping rather than quick fixes.
Saifur also offers coaching-style support for career and life-purpose questions.

Online support
How his approaches work online and what they offer
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and the challenges of being human. It helps when people feel stuck, empty or unsure about life purpose by guiding honest conversations about values and responsibility.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, combines acceptance of difficult feelings with clear action steps tied to what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, OCD-like patterns and coping with chronic stress.
Saifur treats finding the right approach as a shared task. He will talk through different ways of working and adjust the mix based on a person’s goals, concerns and what feels most helpful to them. That collaborative process continues as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a conversational sit-down, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and let people choose the format that fits them best.
