Tanvirul Alam

Areas of Specialization

Tanvirul Alam is an Assistant Clinical Psychologist whose main focus is formal psychological assessment. He is trained in ADOS-2 and carries out autism and IQ assessments alongside structured screening for depression, anxiety, OCD and burnout. That assessment background shapes how he works: he starts by understanding clearly what is going on, then builds the plan around it.

Therapeutic Approach

He works mainly with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and also uses mindfulness, relaxation techniques, psychodrama and group work. His practice is trauma-informed, which means the pace is set by what feels manageable for the client rather than by a fixed protocol.

Who Can Benefit

He sees adults and young people dealing with depression and low mood, anxiety and panic, trauma, sleep difficulties, stress and burnout, relationship and family conflict, and difficulties with self-esteem or communication. He also carries out ADHD assessments for adults, and works with children and adolescents around attention, behaviour and impulse control, and supports parents who want practical guidance rather than general advice.

ADHD assessment (DSM-5): children and adults

Tanvirul Alam carries out structured ADHD assessments for both children and adults using the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria published by the American Psychiatric Association. The screening looks at three areas: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Working to a recognised diagnostic standard matters here, because ADHD is easy to mistake for ordinary restlessness or a discipline problem, and a proper assessment tells you which one you are dealing with.

• Who: children and adults
• Session length: about 1 hour
• What you get: a structured assessment against DSM-5 criteria and a written report in 3 working days
• ADHD assessment package: ৳6,000 online or in person (university students ৳5,000 online)

ADHD (মনোযোগের ঘাটতিজনিত ব্যাধি) সাধারণত শৈশবে ধরা পড়ে, তবে অনেক সময় বড় বয়স পর্যন্তও থেকে যায়। নিজের বা সন্তানের অমনোযোগ, অতিরিক্ত চঞ্চলতা বা আবেগ সামলাতে না পারা নিয়ে দুশ্চিন্তা থাকলে একটি আনুষ্ঠানিক স্ক্রিনিং পরিষ্কার উত্তর দিতে পারে।
