Saif was very helpful and compassionate in helping me to understand better the deeper issues which I was unaware of. He helped me with good visualising of my problems and breaking them down into more simple and digestible chunks. I would definitely recommend him for anyone struggling to understand their feelings and problems.

It was good to talk to someone about the problems I was facing in recent times. I got to know more about myself and my feelings. It was my first time receiving a therapy session and j was not sure what to expect. But it turned out pretty well in the end.

Saifur is an amazing therapist. He is able to create an environment where you can speak freely and feel comfortable, no matter how difficult the problem at hand. His approach to therapy guides you to make a decision you truly believe is right and he reassures you that you are able to face all the obstacles in your life.
Within a few sessions of meeting me, he was able to understand my situation fully and he allowed me to rediscover memories I had locked away. He has helped me tremendously and I would definitely recommend that you give therapy with him a try! :)

Saif treats you like a complex human being, but always as a peer and never with lecturing or condescending interactions. Through questions and analogies, as well as very informative newsletters, he leads you to a place where you can find your answers. He has been incredibly helpful in our sessions and exceeded my expectations for the platform.

Saifur is an incredible therapist. My main takeaway from our work together was learning about and developing compassion for myself and others.

He is an empathetic listener with a lot of knowledge. He helped me gain new insights, beyond the things that I was capable of researching myself using google, books, or scientific papers. He always seems absolutely engaged and willing to help. If you think you already know it all, talk to Saifur and he will add some more perspective.

Have had four sessions with Saifur so far. He is very easy to speak to, listens intently and leaves you with something to think about each session throughout the week. I have found these stay with you, and have begun to be used within certain situations I find difficult. His words of support have and will continue to help, forwhich I am very grateful (social anxiety can be like walking through molasses). Everyones journey is a personal one, I endevour to be mindful of that.

Saifur was my first ever therapist and great reassured me coming into therapy for the first time, took the time to get to know me and my issues and quickly helped get to the heart of my issues to start to work through these together and was always supportive of me.
