Jinat Jahan

Jinat Jahan is a counselling psychologist at Chum Wellness with more than 10 years of experience, practising since 2016. She holds an MS in Educational Psychology from the University of Dhaka and works with adults, adolescents, couples and groups, online across Bangladesh every day, and in person in Banani, Dhaka on Fridays.

Areas of Specialization

Jinat supports people with generalised and social anxiety, panic and phobias, depression and low mood, suicidal thoughts, and trauma, including accidents, sexual violence, abuse and bullying, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She also supports survivors of sexual violence, and works with body image worries, functional neurological symptom disorder (conversion disorder), anger and emotional regulation, sleep difficulties, grief and adjustment, and relationship problems.

Therapeutic Approach

Her work is grounded in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches and trauma-informed care, supported by training in psychotraumatology, EMDR (Level 1), neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), transactional analysis and nonviolent communication. Sessions are practical and paced to each person: understanding what is happening, then building skills to manage it.

Experience

Jinat has worked in hospitals, schools, the Student Guidance and Counselling Office at the University of Dhaka, child-care settings, the garment industry, research organisations and national and international NGOs, including gender-based violence and child-protection case management and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programmes.
