To anyone who feels emotionally distressed, has considered counseling but has no idea where to start, I took some time to do my research and list down a few Dhaka-based counselors. I hope this is helpful to anyone who needs it.
Also to add I have been researching on this for a month now and I only added the names of doctors that I found are legit. There are many more counsellors in Dhaka and I couldn’t find their names and/or information about them. I also took help from google and different websites also cross-checked with the hospitals, contact numbers and addresses by calling them. So credits to all the websites I took help from!
If anyone else has any other recommendations please feel free to add them on the comment section. Will be very much appreciated. I’ll make a part 2 and I’ll also try to make a list of counsellors located outside Dhaka.
