Which service is right for me?
“If it is mainly about you, start with individual counselling. If it is about your relationship, choose couple counselling; for a child or teenager, a child psychologist; for tension at home, family counselling.”
What is the difference between a therapist and a psychologist?
“In Bangladesh, “therapist” is a general word for anyone who provides therapy. A clinical or counselling psychologist has a university degree in psychology and supervised clinical training, and is qualified to assess and treat mental health problems. At Chum Wellness every session is with a licensed psychologist.”
Do I need a referral or a diagnosis to book?
“No. You can book directly without a doctor’s referral and without a diagnosis. Many people come simply because something feels hard and they want to talk to a professional.”
Is it safe to talk about my personal problems with a psychologist?
“Yes. Everything you share is confidential and is not shared with your family, employer or anyone else without your written consent, except where someone’s life is in danger.”
What is Chum Wellness?
“Chum Wellness is a mental health service in Bangladesh. We connect clients with licensed psychologists and counsellors for confidential counselling and psychotherapy online or in person in Dhaka.”
Does Chum Wellness provide online and in-person counselling?
“Yes. Chum Wellness offers online counselling for clients across Bangladesh and abroad, and in-person sessions in Dhaka for clients who prefer face-to-face care.”
Who provides the sessions?
“Sessions are provided by trained psychologists and counsellors. The Chum team helps match clients with a therapist based on the concern, preferred session type, and availability.”
Can I get help for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or family concerns?
“Yes. Chum Wellness supports individual therapy, couple counselling, child and teen counselling, and family counselling for concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, communication problems, and family conflict.”
Does Chum Wellness work with organizations?
“Yes. Chum Wellness provides corporate mental health and workplace wellbeing support, including counselling access, workshops, and structured programs for teams in Bangladesh.”
Is what I discuss kept private?
“Yes. Your sessions stay between you and your psychologist. The booking and support team cannot see what is discussed, and therapists do not share client details with each other.”
How much does a depression assessment cost in Bangladesh?
“At Chum Wellness the depression assessment, including the written report, costs ৳5,000 online or ৳5,500 in person at Green Road, Dhaka.”
Which depression tests do you use?
“A clinical interview based on the DSM-5 criteria, with validated scales chosen for you, such as the PHQ-9, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), plus checks for anxiety (GAD-7), mood swings and safety. Your report names every tool used.”
Is a free online depression test enough?
“It is a useful first step, not a diagnosis. Our free 2-minute self-check shows whether you should look closer. A clinical assessment confirms whether it is depression, how severe it is, and what will help.”
Can the depression assessment be done online?
“Yes. It can be done by video call from anywhere in Bangladesh or abroad, or in person at Green Road, Dhaka.”
How long does it take, and when do I get the report?
“The session takes about an hour. The written report is ready within 3 working days.”
Will I be given medicine?
“Psychologists do not prescribe. If the assessment suggests medication could help, the report says so and we refer you to a psychiatrist.”
What is an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)?
“An Employee Assistance Programme is a confidential support benefit that an employer pays for. Employees, and usually their household, can talk privately to a licensed psychologist about work stress, family, money or any personal difficulty. The employer only ever sees anonymised, combined information.”
Will HR or managers know who used the EAP?
“No. Employees book directly and privately through the app, phone or WhatsApp. The company receives only anonymised trends for groups of 10 or more people. Never a name, never a session note.”
What does an EAP cost in Bangladesh, and who pays?
“The company pays; employees never do. Pricing is per employee per month and depends on headcount and how many sessions each person can use. Request a proposal and we send a clear quote within one business day.”
Is an EAP more than counselling sessions?
“Yes. Alongside confidential one-to-one support, it covers family and relationships, money and life worries, manager consultation, critical-incident support and wellbeing tools, for the employee and their household.”
Can employees outside Dhaka use it?
“Yes. Support is online across all of Bangladesh, and abroad for remote staff, with in-person sessions in Dhaka. Evening slots are available.”
What is an EAP, and how is it different from a workshop?
“An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is ongoing, confidential one-to-one support that every employee can use privately, all year. A workshop is a group session on one topic, such as stress or burnout. Many companies combine both: workshops raise awareness, and the EAP gives people somewhere private to go next.”
What is Mental Health First Aid training?
“Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training teaches managers and chosen staff to notice early signs that a colleague is struggling, start a supportive conversation, and guide them to the right help. It is skills training, not therapy, and runs as a half-day or full-day session for small groups.”
Will HR or managers see who used it?
“No. Individual usage is strictly confidential. Employees book directly and privately, and you receive only anonymised, aggregated data.”
What does a corporate wellness programme include?
“Typically a confidential counselling allowance (EAP), manager training and awareness workshops, and anonymised wellbeing reporting. We tailor the mix to your headcount and goals.”
How quickly can we start?
“Most companies go live within two weeks: a short scoping call, a proposal, then an awareness session and simple private booking for your people.”
