Seeking Clarity and Emotional balance? Curious how counselling can transform your life?
I am a compassionate and dedicated integrative therapist with over
credentialed in the UK , with over 1,300 hours of direct client engagement experience.
I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. My holistic perspective embraces various modalities, fostering healing and personal growth.
I have helped a diverse range of of clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, and those struggling with common mental health issues such as depression and low mood, obsessive disorder (OCDs), stress, anxiety, relationship issues, working through grief and loss, coping with life changes, career difficulties, academic challenges, Carer's issues, childhood trauma, motivation, self esteem and confidence to name a few. I also have experience of working with caregivers of neuro-diverse children and young adults, as well as those caring for patients or loved ones with Alzheimer's and Dementia.
Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, and its not always easy to navigate challenges on your own. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard without fear of judgment.
In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to explore the challenges you're facing, identify your strengths, and develop effective coping strategies. Your journey is unique, and I'm committed to tailoring our sessions to your individual needs and goals.
I frequently adopt a person centred approach which is informed by Existential philosophies, in my work. As such, by remaining fully present in the here and now, I will guide you to explore aspects of your life that you will bring to counselling. I will assist you in making your own decisions and help facilitate a better understanding of yourself and your situation. I may also guide you to explore your personal history to discern effective strategies for investigating your concerns, and to support you to make choices that are you're comfortable with.
The foundation of my approach rests on valuing the significance of your feelings and emotions throughout our collaborative journey. Just as physical discomfort alerts you to address its source, our emotions indicate underlying issues that require attention. I will support you in delving into and comprehending these feelings and emotions, which often underlie and at times are the source of your unease or distress.
As you gain deeper insights, your adeptness at managing these emotions will improve, empowering you to navigate challenging decisions with greater ease and make well-informed choices.
I believe, therapist-client relationship is foundational and pivotal in the therapeutic process, serving as the bedrock upon which trust, collaboration and meaningful exploration of emotions and experiences can flourish. As such, your insights are valuable in shaping our therapeutic process. Please feel free to share what you're comfortable with during our sessions, and if at any point you have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. Our communication is an essential part of our partnership.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Saima Rehman. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
As I continue to navigate, reflect and learn about myself and the day to day experiences of what I do Saima has been incredible at holding the space and content to help me build on my own ideas and understanding. She is patient and critical when she needs to be, bringing in the right tone that we have set together. She asks questions to help navigate my own thoughts, whilst also offering directions and suggestions to help me challenge myself and my ideas. Saima continues to be a powerful asset in my own development and exploration whilst also keeping the space safe and structured to unpack pieces of me that might be challenging for others to understand.
Saima is definitely someone who will learn about your pace and help create a space that will help anyone reflect and grow.

Saima Rehman helped me navigate a path through a time of stress, major life changes, anxiety and self-doubt. Over some 8 months, through our video sessions, worksheets and written exchanges, I have journeyed from a place of near despair to one of acceptance and even calm. Saima is kind, imaginative, respectful, highly responsive and very knowledgeable. I am forever grateful: thank you.
