About Srab

Srab Der is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). He focuses on practical, down-to-earth work that helps people manage symptoms and build skills for everyday life. Many people come to him because of stress, anxiety, relationship strain or difficulties after trauma. He also supports men concerned about career pressure, self-esteem, addictions and changes in life circumstances.

Srab uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and values, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns that affect relationships and closeness.

Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Srab listens first to what is most worrying, then suggests small, practical steps to try between sessions. This can include simple exercises, short behavioural experiments, or ways of noticing feelings and urges as they happen.

He has five years of experience working with issues such as depression, grief, ADHD, parenting pressures, sleep problems and intimacy concerns. His background also includes helping people deal with chronic health challenges, caring roles and body image or eating-related worries.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions through the platform’s scheduling tools.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values; online sessions can use brief exercises and values-mapping to set achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and testing new behaviours, with homework tasks that are easy to share and reflect on between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be used online to map interaction styles and practice different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods feels most useful. That choice is based on the person’s goals, preferences and what turns out to be most helpful in practice.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with someone across borders, which is useful for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tasks, exercises and pacing so therapy fits daily life without demanding long blocks of time.
