Why us
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 same fee as in Dhaka
A session with us is ৳2,000–4,500, roughly USD 17–37. That is exactly what a client in Dhaka pays: there is no overseas rate and no surcharge for living abroad.
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.
Wherever you live
A Bangla-speaking therapist, whichever country you live in
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.
Bengali-speaking therapist in the UK & Ireland
UK & Ireland are 5–6 hours behind Dhaka, so afternoon and evening sessions are both easy. For Bangladeshis in London, Birmingham, Manchester and beyond who want a psychologist who shares their language and family context. Finding a Bangla-speaking therapist in the UK
Bangla-speaking therapist in the USA & Canada
Ask for one of our US-hours psychologists and keep your own evening, whether you are in New York, Toronto or California. No overnight bookings.
Bangladeshi psychologist in the Middle East
For Bangladeshis in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman. The Gulf is 2–3 hours behind Dhaka, so almost any evening slot works, and sessions fit around long working days.
Bangla therapy in Europe
Europe is 4–5 hours behind Dhaka: our evening is your afternoon. For students and families in Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Sweden and beyond.
Bangla-speaking psychologist in Australia & New Zealand
Australia and New Zealand are 4–6 hours ahead, so our morning is your afternoon. For students and families in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland.
Bengali counselling in Malaysia, Singapore, Japan & Korea
Malaysia and Singapore are 2 hours ahead, Japan and Korea 3 hours ahead. Mornings and evenings both work.
Anywhere else? Tell us your city and we will find the slot.
How it works

Availability
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.

Who you will see
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.
Why trust us
A licensed practice you can check before you pay
Trust matters when the practice you choose is in another country. We are an established, licensed practice, and everything about us is open to check before you book.
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. Read our Google reviews →
What people bring
What people actually bring to us from abroad
These are the recurring themes, taken from the enquiries we receive rather than from a brochure.
Marriage across a distance
One partner abroad, one at home, and a relationship conducted in short phone calls.

Everyone at home believes you are living the dream. The quieter moments rarely get shared.
Read moreGuilt about ageing parents
The ones you are not there to look after, and the phone calls that carry it.

Fees
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 or AUD 26–55 at typical rates, 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.
Practicalities
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.
Need a report for a university or employer abroad? For formal accommodations such as extra exam time (DSA in the UK, ADA in the US), each institution sets its own rules on who can assess. Check what yours accepts, and we will guide you on the best route.

The ordinary shape of a first week from abroad
A real recent journey, told without any detail that could identify the person. It is not remarkable to us; it is simply how it goes.
