Why we exist

Care should be easier to start and safer to continue

For many people in Bangladesh, finding the right mental health support still feels confusing, private questions feel difficult to ask, and the first step can take too long. Chum Wellness was built to make that path clearer: understand the concern, match the person with a suitable psychologist, and keep the process respectful from the first message onward.

We support individuals, couples, children, families, and workplaces with structured counselling and psychotherapy. The goal is not to make care feel rushed. The goal is to help people reach the right professional with confidence.

Confidential first

Your request is handled privately by the Chum team before any appointment is arranged.

Licensed care

Sessions are provided by trained psychologists and counsellors, not generic listeners.

Clear next steps

You do not need to know the exact therapy type. We help you choose the right starting point.

How care moves

People often come to Chum with sensitive concerns. The experience is designed to reduce friction without turning care into a rushed checkout flow.

How we choose therapists

Every psychologist is vetted before they see a client

A warm listener is not enough. Before anyone joins Chum, they pass a structured review built around real clinical standards, not just a CV check.

Credentials checked

Degrees, certifications, and active licences are verified by our internal team.

Interviewed for fit

A structured interview checks clinical relevance, empathy, and listening skill.

Clinical peer review

A senior clinical psychologist gives the final sign-off before anyone is approved.

Reviewed continuously

Therapists are rated on client feedback, so quality is checked over time, not just once.

Privacy and matching

Matched by a person, kept private by design

When you reach out, a real member of our team listens to your concern and matches you with a psychologist whose focus fits. We do not hand this to an automated algorithm, because care this personal should start with a human.

Since 2018, Chum has also offered reduced-fee sessions for students and clients from lower-income backgrounds, so cost is less of a barrier to starting.

The booking team can’t see your sessions

Whoever helps you book has no access to what is discussed in the room. That stays between you and your psychologist.

Therapists don’t discuss clients

Your psychologist does not share your story with other therapists on the team.

Changing therapist is simple

If the fit is not right, we help you switch, easily and privately, with no awkward explanations.
