About Mohammad
Mohammad Rakib Islam helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions and ADHD. He offers a calm, respectful online space where adults can talk about what feels overwhelming and start to find clearer ways of coping. Mohammad speaks English and Bengali and brings three years of counselling experience to his practice.
He uses a client-centred style that pays attention to each person’s story and priorities.
How Mohammad works
Sessions focus on practical skills and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Mohammad draws on cognitive behavioural techniques as well as acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice thoughts and take steps that match their values. Attachment-based perspectives are used when past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour.
Dialectical behaviour ideas are included for managing strong emotions and improving coping. These approaches are blended with conversational, evidence-informed methods to make therapy feel relevant and manageable. Mohammad identifies as a South Asian immigrant and brings cultural sensitivity into sessions.
He aims to make space for questions about identity, belonging and meaning alongside everyday challenges like communication and impulsivity. The pace is set by the client and sessions are practical and collaborative. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Mohammad is an ACA counsellor, works from Australia, and has a straightforward process to begin therapy.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on values and relationships
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages taking small actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and behaviour. It can be useful when issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties or family of origin concerns affect trust, closeness and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mohammad will discuss different methods and help decide what fits your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see body language and have a fuller conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on useful skills and understanding.
