Srab Der , BACP

Srab Der is a registered therapist with the BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a licensed NLP Practitioner, trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming. He is also a doctoral candidate in psychotherapy with a focus on trauma and resilience, bringing both academic study and practical training to his work.

He is trained in a range of therapeutic methods, including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Mindfulness Practice. These approaches allow him to explore immediate concerns as well as deeper patterns, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and preferences.

Srab combines theoretical knowledge with lived and clinical experience to support people facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, obsessive compulsive disorders, substance misuse and addiction. He also works with issues such as stress, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping concerns, self-esteem, career struggles, ADHD and compassion fatigue. His practice addresses both individual symptoms and relational patterns, helping clients uncover underlying causes while developing practical coping strategies.

Rather than following a single formula, he seeks to co-create a customised therapeutic plan that aligns with a client’s goals, pace and values, drawing from multiple modalities to support lasting change and greater resilience.

Evidence-informed approaches delivered through online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead. It helps people build self-understanding, self-acceptance and confidence to make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that explores links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and many everyday difficulties by teaching practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational experiences shape current relationships and sense of safety; it can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship patterns and healing after abandonment or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Srab works collaboratively with each person, discussing different methods and shaping a plan that reflects the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adapt the approach over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet people where they are, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, to access support from different locations and to continue continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these channels to provide consistent, responsive therapy tailored to each client’s circumstances.
