Gulshan is Dhaka at its most international — embassies, corporate headquarters, and a community that moves between countries and languages. It can also be quietly isolating: long hours at the top of an organisation, expatriate families far from their own support networks, and a strong instinct to keep personal struggles out of sight. A psychologist in Gulshan gives you a confidential space that sits outside all of that.

One of our psychologists offers in-person sessions in the Gulshan area, and the full team is available online — including therapists comfortable working entirely in English for expat and returning clients.

What brings people in Gulshan to therapy

executive stress, decision fatigue and the loneliness of senior roles
expat adjustment, cultural isolation and being far from family
anxiety and sleeplessness beneath a composed exterior — anxiety therapy
relationship and family strain — couple counselling — and low mood that persists — depression counselling

Sessions in English or Bangla, in person or online

You can choose a therapist who works in fluent English, in Bangla, or in both. Whether you are near Gulshan 1, Gulshan 2, Baridhara, Niketan or Badda, you can meet face-to-face in the Gulshan area, or keep everything online — which many international clients prefer for its discretion and flexibility across time zones. Every therapist is one of our 50+ licensed psychologists.

What your first session looks like

The first appointment is an assessment, not a test. Your psychologist asks about what has brought you in, your history, sleep and stress, and what you would like to be different — then you set a direction together and keep care structured so progress is visible. Sessions last around 50–60 minutes. Everything discussed stays strictly between you and your psychologist; nothing is reported to an employer or anyone else.

How booking works

Tell us briefly what you would like help with, pick your language and format, and we match you accordingly. First appointments are typically confirmed within 2–12 hours. Start at book a session.

Session fees

Indicative session fees run ৳1,200–৳5,000 and are always confirmed before you book; student rates are lower. See pricing for the full range.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have my sessions entirely in English?

Yes. Several of our psychologists work fluently in English, which suits expat clients and Bangladeshis returning from abroad.

How private is this?

Fully confidential. Nothing is shared with employers, family or anyone else without your consent — a common concern in a close professional community like Gulshan.

Is in-person available in Gulshan?

Yes, with one of our psychologists in the Gulshan area; the rest of the team is available online.

When holding it all together starts to cost you

Senior roles and expatriate life both reward people who appear unshakeable, so the strain often stays hidden until it is significant. For clients in and around Gulshan, it is worth talking to a psychologist when:

you are functioning well outwardly but anxious or empty underneath
sleep is poor and the mind will not switch off after work
isolation is setting in — far from family, or unable to be open with colleagues
you are relying on work, alcohol or distraction to keep the lid on

Do you work with international clients and expats in Gulshan?

Yes. Several of our psychologists work fluently in English and regularly support expatriates and returning Bangladeshis, in person in the Gulshan area or online across time zones.
