About Mohammad
Mohammad Rakib Islam offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, life changes and ADHD. He creates a calm, respectful space where adults can talk about what feels overwhelming. Sessions are offered in English and Bengali, and delivered online via video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Rakib’s style is conversational and client-centred. He listens first to understand what matters to each person, then works together to set practical goals.
Background and approach
He draws on several approaches to help people name their feelings, try new coping strategies and make small changes that matter day to day. He uses Existential Therapy to help with questions of meaning, identity and belonging. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to notice thinking patterns and shift unhelpful reactions.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust and relationship patterns. Rakib has three years of practice experience and holds ACA as a credential. He describes his work as culturally aware and particularly attentive to experiences of immigration and family of origin issues.
People report clearer thinking after practical skills and reflective conversations. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
How Rakib blends therapeutic approaches online
Rakib uses Existential Therapy to help people facing questions about meaning, identity and belonging. This approach encourages honest reflection about values and life direction, and can help when someone feels empty or disconnected. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to build skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward valued goals; it emphasises practical steps and willingness to act despite discomfort.Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on trust, closeness and repeating relationship patterns. It helps people notice how early relationship experiences shape current connections and learn new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Rakib draws on these approaches in a collaborative way and will discuss which methods fit best with each person’s needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation, phone needs less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and messaging allows brief check-ins or ongoing written work between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life while keeping the focus on practical change and understanding.
