About Srab
Srab Der is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress and phobias. He holds BACP registration with five years of experience and works online with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult problems feel more workable.
In sessions he listens first and then offers tools that suit each person. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance-based methods to help clients live alongside difficult feelings.
Background and approach
His style is direct but warm, and he focuses on small, doable steps rather than long lectures. Srab has helped people facing depression, trauma and the aftermath of abuse, and those coping with relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports clients dealing with sleep and eating issues, addiction and career stress.
He pays attention to how attachment and early relationships can shape present difficulties. When someone brings grief, anger or low self-esteem he works to make sense of those emotions and build skills for managing them. He also offers coaching-style conversations for people wanting clearer goals and practical progress.
Many clients appreciate having concrete strategies to try between sessions. Sessions may include short practical exercises, thought records or values-based tasks tailored to what the person prefers. He guides people through pacing work on painful topics so it feels tolerable.
The aim is clearer thinking, more choice and steadier coping in day-to-day life.
Approach-driven online counselling and practical tools
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, and uses that understanding to change current ways of relating and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try methods collaboratively. Sessions begin with a simple plan and adapt as a person notices what helps and what doesn't, so the process stays practical and client-led.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls let you read facial cues and do more in-depth work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit hands-free conversations. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or for people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and they let registered or accredited professionals offer ongoing support without geographic limits.
