About Srab
Srab Der is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and life changes. He draws on five years of clinical experience and a BACP registration to guide discussions about anxiety, depression, grief and parenting concerns. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on real-life solutions that can be used between meetings.
He offers a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural methods to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based perspectives to look at relational patterns.
Background and approach
These methods are used alongside a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s priorities central to each session. Clients can expect active collaboration. Srab helps people set clear, achievable goals and practices simple skills in session.
He also supports work on intimacy-related issues, boundaries, coping with chronic illness, and addiction-related struggles. In practice he tailors plans to individual needs, drawing on techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. He is comfortable addressing eating and sleeping concerns, career stress, ADHD-related difficulties, and complex grief reactions.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged remotely for international clients. The initial steps are straightforward: complete the short questionnaire, match with a therapist and schedule sessions. Srab aims to make therapy manageable for people juggling busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches for online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for worry, low mood and difficulties that come with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises, which can quickly reduce anxiety and improve sleep and routine. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and behaviour, helping people understand communication and trust issues in their close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in the early sessions and recommend methods that fit the problem and the person. This is a collaborative process, so adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give flexible options. Video calls are good for deeper, conversational work and practising exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer brief updates, written reflections or who want to fit sessions into a busy schedule. These formats make it easier to access support from different locations and at times that work with everyday life.
