About Saf
Dr. Saf Buxy helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. He also supports concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, career strain and challenges around parenting and caregiving.
He is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Dr Buxy uses a practical, respectful style in sessions. He listens first to understand what matters to each person.
Then he co-creates a plan that fits that person’s life and goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. He brings 20 years of professional experience to the work. That experience includes helping people manage sleep and eating problems, cope with major life changes, and address compassion fatigue.
He also offers support for concerns linked to attachment, abandonment and blended family situations. Sessions can cover short-term coping strategies and longer-term patterns. He aims to build clearer communication, steadier mood management and stronger self-belief.
Practical tools and straightforward talk are used so people can try things between appointments. Dr Buxy believes starting therapy is a courageous step. He meets people with sensitivity and compassion.
Appointments are arranged to suit each person’s circumstances and goals.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to your goals, try out methods and adjust what you do based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process means the method can change as your needs and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit around work and family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be quicker or need less bandwidth; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility so people can use the format that best fits their routine and comfort.
