Therapy in Bangla, wherever you live
Talk to a licensed Bangladeshi psychologist online, in Bangla, English, or moving between them. Sessions run 24/7. No waiting list, no referral, and no spending the first three sessions explaining your family to someone who has never met a family like yours.
Why Bangladeshis abroad come to us instead of a local therapist
Most people who reach us from abroad have already tried, or seriously considered, a therapist where they live. These are the reasons they came back.
You spend the first three sessions explaining the context
Why your mother's opinion on your marriage carries the weight it does. Why "just set a boundary with your parents" is not advice that fits. Why a divorce is not only your decision. A good therapist abroad will listen carefully and still be working from the outside. A Bangladeshi psychologist starts inside it.
Some things are only sayable in Bangla
People who are completely fluent in English still find that grief, shame and family conflict live in their first language. You will not be asked to translate yourself, and nobody will need the cultural footnotes.
The cost is not comparable
A session with us is ৳2,000–4,500, roughly USD 17–37. Private therapy in the UK, US, Canada or Australia typically runs USD 100–200. The fee is identical to what a client in Dhaka pays, because there is no overseas rate.
You can start this week
No months-long waiting list, no referral letter, no insurance pre-authorisation, and no explaining to a receptionist why you need to be seen.
From first message to first session, in a day
No forms to fill from abroad, no waiting weeks for an intake call. Most people go from first message to a confirmed session within hours.
Sessions 24/7, including US hours
This is where most overseas clients expect a compromise, and where there is not one. Most of our psychologists work 7 AM to 11 PM Bangladesh time, which already covers Europe, the UK, the Gulf, Asia and Australia comfortably. And for the US and Canada, where Dhaka evening falls in the small hours, we keep dedicated US-hours psychologists so you never have to book overnight. You choose a time that suits your life, not one that fits around Dhaka.
Everyone else works the 7 AM to 11 PM Bangladesh window, which covers Europe, the UK, the Gulf, Asia and Australia comfortably.
You never do the arithmetic. Tell us your city and the hours you are free, and we confirm the slot in your local time, in writing. Daylight saving is handled on our side.
You choose your own psychologist
You pick the person you talk to, not one assigned by an app. Read each psychologist's real profile, qualifications, specialties and fee, then choose, or tell us what you need and we will suggest two or three names. Everyone here is a licensed clinical psychologist, counselling psychologist or psychiatrist. If the fit is not right after two or three sessions, say so and we will suggest someone else. That is normal, and it is not starting over.

A fair question when you are handing your mental health to a clinic on the other side of the world. The short answer: we are an established, licensed practice, and everything about us is checkable before you pay a taka.
You are never locked in. Pay for one session, see how it feels, and decide from there. If the psychologist is not the right fit, you switch, and you have lost nothing but one hour.
What people actually bring to us from abroad
These are the recurring themes, taken from the enquiries we receive rather than from a brochure.
A wider overview sits in our guide to mental health support for NRBs, and how to start therapy from abroad walks through the practical steps.
What it costs
Per session
৳2,000 – ৳4,500
The same fee a client in Dhaka pays, with no surcharge for living abroad. Roughly USD 17–37, GBP 14–30, EUR 16–35, CAD 24–50, AUD 26–55 at typical rates, against USD 100–200 for private therapy where you live. You are not paying less for less: you are paying a Dhaka fee for a licensed clinician who already shares your language and context. The exact fee appears on each profile and is confirmed before you book.
The four-session package
Most people abroad settle into a weekly or fortnightly rhythm, and re-booking every week across a time difference becomes its own small chore. The package exists for that.
- Four sessions with the same psychologist, paid once
- Your slot locked for four weeks at the day and time you choose
- No weekly back-and-forth about scheduling
Ask about it on WhatsApp and we will confirm the rate for the psychologist you have chosen.
Payment, and psychological assessment
How payment works from abroad
If you or a family member in Bangladesh has bKash or Nagad, that is the quickest route. If not, direct bank transfer works from any country. Tell us where you are when you get in touch and we will confirm the method along with your slot, before you are asked to pay anything.
You receive a proper invoice for every session or package.
Assessment and psychological testing
We carry out psychological assessment, including ADHD and other standard instruments, with our clinical psychologists and psychiatrists. It helps when you want a clear answer rather than a general sense that something is off.
One honest limitation. If you need a report for formal accommodations at a university or workplace abroad, such as extra exam time, DSA in the UK or ADA in the US, those institutions usually require an assessor recognised in that country, and a report issued in Bangladesh is often not accepted. Please check what your institution requires first.

The ordinary shape of a first week from abroad
This is a real recent journey, told without any detail that could identify the person, because that is the point: it is not remarkable to us. It is simply how it goes.
Someone wrote to us from Europe. She wanted weekly sessions in Bangla, with a female psychologist experienced in CBT, for burnout and family pressure that had followed her abroad. Within a few hours she had two suitable names, a session confirmed for that same week at a time that was evening for her, and a clear answer on how to pay from where she lived.
She has stayed with the same psychologist since, on a recurring slot she does not have to re-book each week. When one appointment could not go ahead, we arranged another the same day rather than leaving her waiting. That is the whole story, and it is a common one.
Start this week
Tell us your country, the hours that suit you, and roughly what you would like help with. We will come back with a psychologist, a time in your own timezone, and how to pay, in one reply.
