About Srab
Srab Der is a counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. He also helps those coping with trauma, grief, addiction and life changes.
He trained as a BACP member, which means he is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over five years he has worked with a range of concerns and developed a practical way of working. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes that make a difference day to day.
Srab uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thought patterns and on acceptance-focused methods to help people live by their values. He also uses client-centred listening to make space for the person’s priorities.
In a typical session he will listen first, then suggest exercises you can try between meetings. These might include short practices for mood, breathing or noticing thoughts. Work between sessions is treated as part of the plan rather than optional homework.
People come for support with sleep, eating, parenting strain, work stress and low self-esteem. He also addresses more specific concerns such as ADHD-related difficulties, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue. The aim is steady, practical change that fits into everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and practical strategies to change habits and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, sleep and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship worries.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences, then recommend methods that fit the person’s situation. That plan can change over time as needs become clearer and small practical steps are tried.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins at a convenient time, or removing the need to be on camera when that helps. Many people find that using therapy tasks between sessions works well with online meetings, and the counsellor will discuss how to make this fit into everyday routines.
