Individual Counselling in Dhaka & Online
Individual counselling is private, one-to-one therapy with a licensed clinical psychologist, a confidential space to understand what you are going through and work through it at your own pace. Whether it is anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem, grief or a difficult life change, you can talk to a psychologist online from anywhere in Bangladesh, or in person in Dhaka, in Bangla or English. Most people feel lighter after just a few sessions.
What is individual counselling?
Individual counselling, also called one-to-one therapy or personal counselling, is a private conversation between you and a trained clinical psychologist. Unlike advice from friends or family, it is confidential, non-judgemental, and guided by proven, evidence-based methods. Your psychologist helps you understand your thoughts, feelings and patterns, and gives you practical tools to feel better and cope with what life brings.

How individual counselling works
For most concerns, talk therapy is the first-line approach. Your psychologist may use methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help you understand your triggers and change the patterns that keep you stuck. The first session is simply a conversation: you share what brought you in, and together you set a direction. There is nothing you “have to” say, and nothing is judged. You decide the pace, and there is no obligation to commit to a fixed number of sessions.
Individual, couple, family or child counselling?
Individual counselling is one-to-one, focused on you. If your main concern is a relationship, couple and marriage counselling may fit better; for tension across the household, see family counselling; and for a child or teenager, child and teen counselling. Not sure which you need? Start with individual counselling and your psychologist will help you decide, or take a free self-check first to see where you stand.
In a crisis, call 999
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or thinking about self-harm, this is a medical emergency. Call 999 (national emergency) or go to the nearest hospital. Individual counselling is not a crisis service.

It varies. Some people feel better in a few sessions; others prefer ongoing support. Your psychologist will discuss what suits you, and there is no obligation to commit to a fixed number.
Is individual counselling available online across Bangladesh?
Yes. You can have private one-to-one sessions by secure video or audio call from anywhere in Bangladesh, or in person at our Dhaka chambers, whichever you prefer.
How much does individual counselling cost?
Sessions usually cost about ৳1,500–৳4,500 depending on the psychologist’s seniority, with reduced student rates often available. The exact fee is shown on each profile before you book.
Can I have sessions in Bangla, and will they stay private?
Yes to both. Most psychologists offer sessions in Bangla or English, and everything you share is strictly confidential and never disclosed without your written consent.

Why talk therapy, specifically. The National Institute of Mental Health describes psychotherapy as an evidence-based treatment for depression, anxiety and a range of other conditions, structured approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy that teach specific skills, used either on their own or alongside medication. That is what a one-to-one session here is built around.
