In person in Uttara
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.
Short answer: One Chum Wellness psychologist, Kamrun Nahar Khan, holds regular in-person hours in Uttara (৳2,500 online, ৳3,000 in person), and several more see clients in Banani and Gulshan. The rest of the team works with Uttara clients online, so you can start without the airport-road commute. Fees run ৳1,000 to ৳5,500 depending on the psychologist and are shown before you book.
Book a session · usually confirmed within 15 minutes.
Uttara works like a town of its own, its own sectors, schools, markets and rhythm, set a long drive north of central Dhaka. That distance is precisely the problem when you need a psychologist: the therapists have always seemed to be somewhere on the other side of the airport road. Online sessions close that gap, and we also have in-person support right here in Uttara.
One of our psychologists sees clients face-to-face in Uttara, and the entire team is available online, so getting help no longer costs you a two-hour round trip.
What brings people in Uttara to therapy
- family and parenting pressures in a school-heavy, residential area, child and teen support
- the strain of a long daily commute on mood and energy, depression counselling
- anxiety, overthinking and sleep problems, anxiety therapy
- marital and relationship difficulties, couple counselling
In person in Uttara, or online from home
For many people in Uttara, online is the sensible default, no commute, sessions that fit between school runs and work. But if you would rather meet in person, that is available in Uttara too, wherever you are across the sectors, from Sector 3, 4 and 7 to Sector 11 and 13, Rajlakshmi, House Building or Azampur. Both use the same 60+ certified psychologists and the same confidentiality.
Psychologists who see clients in Uttara and nearby
We will be straight about this, because most platforms are not: one of our psychologists holds regular in-person hours in Uttara itself. The rest of the team sees Uttara clients online, and a few more sit close enough to reach without the airport-road crawl. That is a more honest picture than a page claiming a full clinic in every sector.
In Uttara:
- Kamrun Nahar Khan, Psychologist, 8+ years. Couples and marriage, children and teens, anxiety and OCD, depression. Works in CBT, systemic family and couple therapy, and EFT. Bangla or English. ৳2,500 online, ৳3,000 in person.
Close by, if her diary is full or the fit is not right:
- Meghoboti Salma, Assistant Clinical Psychologist, 5+ years, at Banani. Addiction, depression and mood. ৳2,500 online, ৳3,000 in person.
- Nasim Billah, Assistant Clinical Psychologist, 9+ years, at Banani. Couples and marriage, anxiety and OCD, depression, career anxiety. ৳3,000.
- Shuvo Sarkar, Assistant Clinical Psychologist, 9+ years, at Gulshan and Badda. Couples and marriage, psychological assessment. ৳2,200 online, ৳2,500 in person.
If none of those fit what you are carrying, the rest of our certified psychologists work with Uttara clients online, and you can compare specialty, gender, session type and fee before booking. Or book a session and we will match you.
How booking works
A few lines about what is going on, your choice of format, and we match you with a suitable psychologist, usually confirmed within 15 minutes. Start at book a session. For a structured therapy such as CBT, people usually have between 5 and 15 sessions, depending on what it is for (NHS).
Session fees
Indicative session fees run ৳1,000–৳5,500 and are always confirmed before you book; university students pay from ৳699 online with selected psychologists. See pricing for the full range.
Life in a planned township, at the city’s edge
Uttara is a world of its own, a large, planned satellite town of numbered sectors, wide roads and a fast-growing young population, set at Dhaka’s northern edge by the airport. It has schools, universities and shopping in abundance, but it also has distance: for many residents, work and study mean a long, draining daily commute into the heart of the city and back. That combination of a busy, aspirational community and a punishing commute produces its own quiet stress, and it is one we hear about often from people looking for a psychologist in Uttara.
The concerns from Uttara span the generations that live here. Students at the area’s colleges and universities carry exam and career pressure. Young professionals wear themselves thin on the commute and the climb. Families juggle children, ageing parents and the cost of township life. And plenty of people, having moved out here for space and calm, find themselves feeling oddly isolated, far from the friends and relatives they grew up around.
Getting there, and what the metro changed
Our Uttara sessions run inside the township, reachable from Sector 3, 4, 7, 11 and 13, and from House Building, Azampur, Rajlakshmi and Diabari without going near the airport road. For most residents that is a rickshaw or a short CNG ride rather than an expedition.
The metro is worth mentioning, because it quietly removed the oldest excuse for not getting help. Uttara has three stations on MRT Line 6, Uttara North, Uttara Center and Uttara South, and the line runs south through Agargaon and Farmgate to Motijheel. A journey that used to mean budgeting two hours each way and hoping is now a predictable, air-conditioned half-hour or so. If a psychologist in Dhanmondi, Green Road or Moghbazar is the right specialist for you, that is now a realistic trip rather than a theoretical one.
The reverse is also true and matters more: the reason people in Uttara historically did not start therapy was rarely cost or willingness. It was the four hours the round trip consumed. Between a local psychologist, the metro, and online sessions, that obstacle has essentially gone.
In person in Uttara, and matched to you
Because Uttara is a community in itself, we keep in-person care close: our Uttara counselling point means you do not have to travel into the city for a session, and online counselling is there for the days a trip is impossible. When you reach out, we match you to a psychologist who fits your concern, language and schedule, rather than whoever is free, and you can switch if the fit is not right. Sessions run in Bangla or English, everything is strictly confidential, and fees are transparent at a fixed rate confirmed before you book, and student sessions from ৳699 for the area’s many students.
You do not have to wait for a crisis
If low mood, anxiety, exam stress or the grind of the commute has worn you down for more than two weeks, that is reason enough to talk to someone trained. We see clients from across Uttara’s sectors, as well as nearby Khilkhet, Nikunja and Dakshinkhan, in person at our Uttara point or online from home.
Waiting is the norm here, not the exception. The World Health Organization notes that depression is both common and treatable, yet most people who could benefit from care never receive any. Starting early is easier work than starting late, and nothing about booking a first session commits you to anything beyond that hour.
When to stop pushing through
Life in Uttara often runs on endurance, the long commute, the school runs, the sense that you simply keep going. That is exactly why the signs get ignored. It is worth talking to a psychologist when:
- you are drained in a way rest does not fix
- low mood or worry has lasted more than a couple of weeks
- the commute or the routine fills you with dread rather than tiredness
- you are snapping at family over things that would not normally matter
