In person in Mohakhali
Our chamber is near Square Road, Mohakhali. 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.
Mohakhali is Dhaka’s health and development quarter. icddr,b, BRAC, the NGO head offices, the hospitals along the Mohakhali stretch and the aid and public-health organisations clustered around them employ thousands of people whose whole job is looking after others. That work carries a hidden cost, and if you have been searching for a psychologist in Mohakhali, the exhaustion behind that search is something we understand well.
Chum Wellness holds in-person sessions at our nearby Banani chamber on Kamal Ataturk Avenue, Banani, Dhaka 1213, a few minutes from Mohakhali. See it on the map. The rest of our team meets online across Bangladesh, so whether you work fixed hours or rotating shifts, you can come in person or meet by video around your roster.
The strain of caring for others for a living
People who work in health, aid and development come to us with concerns that quieter jobs rarely produce:
- burnout and compassion fatigue from long hours and heavy caseloads, the flat, drained feeling of depression
- the weight of hearing difficult stories all day, and stress that follows you home, anxiety therapy
- disrupted sleep and mood from night shifts and field deployments
- strain on a marriage or family when work is emotionally all-consuming, couple counselling
Feeling tired after a hard week is expected. Feeling numb, dreading work you once believed in, or carrying other people’s pain home every night is a sign to pause and get support, not to push harder.
In person near Mohakhali, or online around your roster
Our Banani chamber is a short ride from the Mohakhali offices and hospitals, so a session need not eat your whole evening. If your hours rotate, the same licensed psychologists are available online, and you can move between in-person and video sessions as your schedule changes. Confidentiality is identical either way.
Private from your organisation and your colleagues
What you discuss is confidential and is never reported to your employer, your team or your funders. In a sector where everyone seems to know everyone, that matters. A session in Banani keeps a comfortable distance from your own office, and online sessions leave no trace at work. Seeking help for the toll of a caring job is professional maturity, not a mark against you.
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 60 minutes.
How booking works
It takes about three minutes: tell us briefly what is going on, choose in-person at Banani 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 ৳1,000–৳4,500 and are always confirmed before you book; student sessions are ৳1,000. See pricing for the full range.
When work fatigue becomes burnout or depression
Compassion fatigue, burnout and depression sit on a spectrum, and in demanding caring work one can quietly become the next. The signs worth taking seriously are the ones that last: waking unrested no matter how long you sleep, losing the sense of meaning that drew you to the work, physical symptoms with no clear cause, or a low mood that holds for more than two weeks. A psychologist can tell an ordinary rough patch from something that needs proper support, and give you practical tools built for high-stress work. Reaching out before you are running on empty protects both you and the people who depend on you.
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.
