Motijheel is where Dhaka goes to work. The banks, the head offices along Dilkusha, the insurance houses, Bangladesh Bank, the corporate towers and the crowds pouring out at closing time, this is the commercial heart of the country, and it runs on long hours, tight targets and a commute that takes something out of you before the day even starts. If you have been searching for a psychologist in Motijheel, the pressure you are carrying is one we hear about constantly, and help is a short ride away.

Chum Wellness holds in-person sessions at our nearest chamber in Bijoynagar, Zebun Index Trade Center (5th Floor), 191 Shahid Sayed Nazrul Islam Sharani, Bijoy Nagar Road, Dhaka 1000, only minutes from Motijheel, Paltan and Dilkusha. See it on the map. The rest of our team meets online across Bangladesh, so you can come in on a lunch break, drop by after office, or keep the whole thing to a video call, whichever fits the week.

The pressures we hear from people who work in Motijheel

Office life in the CBD has its own particular weight. The concerns people bring us most often are not dramatic, they build up quietly until sleep, mood or a marriage starts to give:

burnout and exhaustion that a weekend no longer fixes, the flat, heavy feeling of depression
deadline pressure, a racing mind and that 3 a.m. spiral of worry, anxiety therapy
strain at home because work never really switches off, couple counselling
the pull between an ambitious job and a child who needs you, child and teen support

Long hours are normal here. Dreading Sunday morning, snapping at people you love, or feeling nothing at all about work you used to care for, that is not normal, and it responds well to therapy.

In person near Motijheel, or online after office

Our Bijoynagar chamber is an easy hop from the Motijheel–Dilkusha–Paltan corridor, so you can book a slot without losing half a day to traffic. If your schedule is unpredictable, the same licensed psychologists are available online, and you can move between in-person and video sessions week to week, the confidentiality is identical either way. Evening and lunch-hour appointments exist precisely because office routines rarely leave room in the middle of the day.

Will my employer or colleagues know?

No. What you discuss is confidential and is never reported to your company, your HR or anyone you work with. That matters especially in a district this tight-knit, where people from the same building often know each other. A session in Bijoynagar keeps a comfortable distance from your own office, and online sessions leave no trail at your desk. Therapy is your private business, and it stays that way.

What your first session looks like

A first appointment is an assessment, not a test. Your psychologist asks what has brought you in, how you have been sleeping and coping, and what you would like to change, then you agree a direction together and keep the work structured so progress is visible. Sessions run about 50–60 minutes. Nothing you say leaves the room.

How booking works

It takes about three minutes: tell us briefly what is going on, choose in-person at Bijoynagar or online, and we match you with a suitable psychologist. Most first appointments are confirmed within 15 minutes. Start at book a session, or browse the team first.

Session fees

Indicative session fees run ৳1,500–৳4,500 and are always confirmed before you book; student rates are lower. See pricing for the full range.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the nearest chamber to Motijheel?

Bijoynagar, Zebun Index Trade Center, 5th Floor, 191 Shahid Sayed Nazrul Islam Sharani, Bijoy Nagar Road, Dhaka 1000, a few minutes from Motijheel, Paltan and Dilkusha. Exact directions are confirmed with your in-person booking.

Do you have appointments outside office hours?

Yes. Lunch-hour, evening and online slots are available so you do not have to choose between getting help and holding down a demanding job.

Can I have sessions in Bangla?

Yes, in Bangla or English, whichever helps you speak freely.

When work stress becomes something more

Stress and burnout are not the same thing, and burnout and depression are not the same thing either, but left alone, one can slide into the next. The signs worth taking seriously are the ones that last: waking tired no matter how long you sleep, losing interest in work and people you once enjoyed, physical symptoms with no clear cause, or a low mood that holds for more than two weeks. A psychologist can tell the difference between a rough patch and something that needs proper support, and give you practical tools rather than just telling you to relax. It is worth reaching out before the job costs you your health or your relationships, not after.

How do I know which psychologist is right for me?

You do not have to work it out alone. Tell us briefly what is going on when you book, and we match you to a suitable psychologist; if the fit is not right, you can switch.
