About Mohammad
Mohammad Rakib Islam offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, life changes and ADHD. He speaks English and Bengali and works with adults who want a thoughtful space to talk, reflect and build new coping skills. Mohammad uses an approachable style that makes room for culture, identity and personal values.
He takes a client-centred approach and blends several methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, managing difficult feelings and learning skills to cope day to day. Conversations can include exploring how early relationships shape current struggles and noticing patterns that get in the way of change.
Mohammad uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make room for difficult thoughts while moving toward what matters. He also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past bonds affect trust and connection now. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical behaviour changes.
With three years of experience and an ACA credential, he aims to offer an understanding, non-judgemental atmosphere. He is mindful of cultural background and immigration issues when these are relevant. The work is collaborative - you set the pace and priorities.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward, Mohammad can help you clarify goals and try manageable steps toward change.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes where uncertainty makes decision making hard. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect trust, closeness and communication now; this can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns and relationship-related distress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mohammad will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods as needed. The selection of techniques is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure the work matches what the person wants to achieve. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits someone’s day. Ask about what is available when you book so you can choose what suits your routine and needs.Areas of focus
