In person in Bashundhara
In-person sessions are by appointment. Book first, we confirm the exact address and time before you visit. No walk-ins. Prefer to stay home? Every psychologist here also offers secure online sessions.
Bashundhara R/A has become one of Dhaka’s biggest student hubs, universities like NSU and IUB, blocks full of shared flats, and thousands of young people living away from home for the first time. That independence is exciting and, often, quietly hard: homesickness, exam pressure, money stress and the loneliness of an apartment where nobody checks on you. Talking to a psychologist can make that first year, or that hard semester, a great deal more survivable.
For Bashundhara we are online-first: you can meet any of our psychologists by secure video from your room, and if you would prefer to sit in the same room, our nearest in-person therapists are a short ride away in Banani and Mohammadpur.
What brings students and residents in Bashundhara to therapy
- exam, thesis and admission stress that has taken over everything, try a free self-check to see where you stand
- homesickness, isolation and low mood in shared or solo flats, depression counselling
- anxiety, panic and sleepless nights, anxiety therapy
- relationship, family and identity questions common in your twenties
Online across Bashundhara, with in-person nearby
Online sessions suit student life: no commute, easy to fit around classes, and private in a way a busy campus or shared flat rarely is. Whether you are in one of the Bashundhara R/A blocks, near Apollo, or on the NSU or IUB side, you can meet by video from wherever you are. When you do want face-to-face contact, our psychologists in nearby Banani and Mohammadpur see clients in person. Everyone you meet is one of our 54 licensed psychologists, held to the same confidential standard.
Where you can actually be seen, in person and online
Straight answer first, because guessing wastes your time: we do not have a room inside Bashundhara R/A itself. What we have is online sessions with the full team, and in-person psychologists a short ride away on the Baridhara and Gulshan side. For most students here, online turns out to be the preferred option anyway, not the compromise.

- Shuvo Sarkar, Assistant Clinical Psychologist, 9+ years, at Gulshan and Badda, reachable from the Notun Bazar side. Couples and marriage, psychological assessment. ৳2,200.

A campus town, and the weight students carry
Bashundhara is, more than anything, a student neighbourhood. Built around some of the country’s largest private universities and a dense grid of residential apartments, it is home to thousands of young people, many living away from their families for the first time. The energy is young and hopeful, but the pressure underneath is real: exams and CGPAs that feel life-defining, career anxiety about what comes after graduation, and the particular loneliness of building a whole life in a new place. If you have been looking for a psychologist in Bashundhara, that student weight is what we hear about most.
The concerns from this area cluster tightly around study, identity and belonging. Overthinking and exam stress that wreck sleep. Low mood and homesickness far from family. Breakups and relationship anxiety that swallow focus and appetite. And a creeping sense of falling behind while everyone else seems to have it figured out. Almost word for word, students tell us “I can’t focus,” “I can’t stop thinking about them,” “I feel like I’m failing at everything.” None of it means something is wrong with you; it means you are carrying a lot, at an age when few are taught how.
Why online suits students here better than a clinic does
Bashundhara R/A is effectively a campus town. NSU, IUB and AIUB sit inside or beside it, along with the hostels, messes and shared flats that come with them, and a large share of the people we hear from in this area are students living away from their families for the first time.
That shapes what works. A clinic appointment means explaining where you are going, to a roommate or to whoever is paying your rent. An online session means closing a door, or booking a slot between classes, and nobody needs to know. For a student worried about a parent finding out, that privacy is not a small convenience, it is often the only reason the session happens at all.
The other half is money. Student sessions are ৳1,000, and fees start at ৳1,000 rather than the ৳3,000–৳3,500 an in-person hour at a Gulshan chamber would cost. Nobody has to choose between eating properly that month and getting help.
What students here most often bring: exam and CGPA pressure, and the fear of disappointing parents who are funding the degree. Loneliness that is hard to admit to, in a city full of people. Sleep that has inverted completely. Relationships and breakups with nobody at home to tell. Panic before presentations or vivas. And, more often than people expect, a growing dread about what happens after graduation.
The World Health Organization notes that half of all mental health conditions begin by age 14 and three-quarters by the mid-twenties, yet most go undetected and untreated. Student years are not a stage to be endured until real life starts; they are precisely when getting help changes the most.
Built for student life and a student budget
Cost and privacy stop many students from getting help, so we work around both. Student sessions are ৳1,000, and online counselling lets you meet a psychologist from any quiet room, even a shared flat, with nothing shared with family, friends or your university. We match you to a psychologist who fits your concern, you can ask for someone you feel comfortable with, and sessions run in Bangla or English. For in-person sessions there are options nearby. If the fit is not right, you can switch, with no awkwardness.
When student stress becomes something more
A hard semester or a painful breakup is normal. A low mood or anxiety that holds for more than two weeks and starts eating your sleep, focus and motivation is not, and it responds far better to support than to pushing through. Reaching out before results slip is a sign of good judgement. We see students and residents from across Bashundhara, Jamuna Future Park side and Kuril, mostly online with in-person options close by.
