A psychometric assessment is a standardized evaluation conducted by a qualified psychologist to measure aspects of your mental functioning — including cognitive ability, personality traits, emotional regulation, and behaviour patterns.
Anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their mental health, students needing psychoeducational reports, individuals referred by a doctor or therapist, and organizations requiring staff psychological screening.
A typical psychometric assessment at CMHCB takes approximately 30 minutes, though complex evaluations may take longer depending on the instruments used.
You receive a comprehensive written report summarizing your results, a professional interpretation of findings, and a debrief session with the assessing psychologist to discuss the results and recommended next steps.
Yes. All assessments and their results are strictly confidential and shared only with your written consent, in accordance with professional ethical guidelines.
You can book directly through our website by clicking 'Book an Appointment', or contact our support team via phone or email and we will schedule a session at your convenience.
Individual therapy is a one-on-one session with a trained mental health professional where you can openly discuss emotional, psychological, or personal challenges in a safe and confidential environment.
Individual therapy is suitable for anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or simply wanting to improve their mental well-being and self-awareness.
Each individual therapy session at CMHCB is 60 minutes. The frequency of sessions is agreed upon between you and your therapist based on your goals and clinical needs.
Individual therapy sessions are priced at 1,000 BDT per session. Please contact us for information about packages or reduced-rate options.
Yes. Everything discussed in your sessions is kept strictly confidential. Information is only shared with your written consent, or in rare circumstances required by law to ensure safety.
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and the nature of your concerns. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy (6–12 sessions), while others prefer ongoing support over a longer period.

Child therapy is a professional, developmentally appropriate approach to supporting children's emotional health using age-suitable techniques such as play therapy, art therapy, and child-adapted CBT in a safe environment.
CMHCB's child therapy services are designed for children aged 4–17. Our therapists adapt their methods to suit the developmental stage of each child.
In most cases children are seen individually, but parent guidance sessions are held every 4–6 weeks. Family sessions may also be arranged when clinically appropriate.
Child therapy sessions at CMHCB are 90 minutes, providing adequate time for the child to engage, process, and wind down from therapeutic activities.
Signs may include persistent emotional distress, behavioural changes, social withdrawal, declining school performance, trauma responses, or difficulty managing emotions. A professional consultation can help clarify whether therapy is appropriate.
Yes, sessions are confidential. Parents are informed of the general progress and direction of therapy, but specific disclosures are kept private unless there is a safety concern.
Contact us to schedule an initial consultation where we will assess your child's needs and recommend an appropriate therapeutic plan.
Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy where a therapist works with family members together to address communication issues, resolve conflicts, and strengthen family relationships.
Ideally, all immediate family members attend, but sessions can also involve sub-groups (e.g., parents only, or parent and child). The therapist will advise on the most beneficial format for your situation.
Family therapy sessions are 90 minutes to allow sufficient time for all members to participate meaningfully.
Yes. Family therapy is particularly effective following events such as bereavement, divorce, a mental health diagnosis within the family, or significant life transitions that have disrupted family dynamics.
This varies by family. Some families find 8–12 sessions sufficient, while others benefit from longer engagement. Your therapist will review progress regularly and adjust the plan accordingly.
Yes. Family therapy is conducted under strict confidentiality guidelines. Information is only shared outside the session with the family's consent, or if required for safety reasons.
Couple therapy is a professional, structured process in which partners work with a trained therapist to improve communication, resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen their emotional connection.
Yes, couple therapy is most effective when both partners participate. However, individual sessions may be incorporated when additional one-on-one support is clinically beneficial.
No. Many couples seek therapy proactively to deepen their connection, improve communication, or navigate life transitions together. Therapy is valuable at any stage of a relationship.

An IQ test is a standardized assessment that measures intellectual functioning across domains such as verbal comprehension, visual-spatial processing, working memory, and processing speed, resulting in a full-scale IQ score.
IQ testing is appropriate for children with suspected giftedness or learning difficulties, students seeking academic accommodations, adults seeking cognitive self-understanding, and individuals referred by clinicians for diagnostic purposes.
The assessment is conducted in person by a trained and certified psychologist using internationally validated instruments in a comfortable, distraction-free environment.
A full IQ and cognitive assessment at CMHCB takes approximately 90 minutes, including the test administration and a brief debrief.
