About Srab
Srab Der is a counsellor who centres his work on the body and the mind. He blends somatic-informed ways of working with talk-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Srab uses practical tools in sessions so people can notice how emotions show up in the body and learn ways to respond differently.
He draws on five years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That background supports his use of cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred listening alongside approaches that focus on attachment and how early bonds affect current relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Srab has worked with people facing trauma, grief, addictions and chronic life stress.
He also helps those dealing with career worries, self-esteem struggles, intimacy issues and sleeping or eating concerns. He aims to help people build practical coping skills and clearer ways to communicate their needs. In practice he combines guided conversation with body-based awareness exercises and simple behavioural steps between sessions.
He encourages small experiments to test new ways of coping and relating. Progress is reviewed together so goals stay relevant and achievable. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to suit their circumstances.
How somatic work and evidence-based talking therapies translate online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how feelings and stress appear in the body. Online sessions can include simple body awareness exercises, grounding techniques and breathing practices that help someone notice and regulate physical responses to stress or trauma.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then taking action toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions by helping people clarify values and try small experiments in living differently.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people understand emotional needs and improve communication in close relationships through reflective conversation and gentle behavioural changes.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques in session and adjust the way of working based on what feels helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which methods suit the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls support visual connection and body-based work, while phone, live chat or text messaging can suit people who need shorter, more frequent contact or who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and to maintain continuity when life is busy.
