Dr. Md. Shahinoor Rahman,  PhD

Counseling Psychologist | Professor of Psychology | Mental Health & Well-being Specialist

Everyone experiences difficult times. You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling with anxiety or depression, facing relationship challenges, experiencing academic or workplace pressure, or simply feeling that life has become emotionally exhausting. You don’t have to go through it alone.

I provide a safe, confidential, and compassionate environment where you can openly discuss your concerns without fear of judgment. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing, identify your strengths, and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to help you regain emotional balance, confidence, and psychological well-being.

With over five years of professional counseling experience, I have supported individuals, couples, students, professionals, and organizations both in Bangladesh and internationally. Through online counseling, I have worked with clients from the USA, UK, Canada, Italy, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, helping people from diverse cultural backgrounds navigate life’s challenges.

As a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chittagong, I teach Counseling Psychology and conduct research on psychological well-being, resilience, character strengths, and positive mental health. My counseling combines scientific knowledge with genuine empathy, ensuring that every session is practical, personalized, and focused on your goals.
