BloomAid at Home and Abroad!

Many Bangladeshis living abroad often want to speak with a psychological counselor. Some are looking for a counselor for themselves, while others seek one for their family members. The topics can range from depression to separation, and finding the right counselor can come with several challenges. BloomAid could be the solution to these problems.

Problem 1: Language and Culture

The language a counselor speaks in the country you live in may not be your mother tongue. Even if you can speak their language, there is another issue - you might not feel comfortable opening up to a counselor from a different culture. Our BloomAid counselors are equally proficient in both English and Bengali, ensuring comfortable and effective counseling.

Problem 2: Convenience and Privacy

You want to seek counseling for yourself but don’t want anyone to know. If you go to a counselor's office and someone sees you, it might be embarrassing. Plus, there’s the hassle of travel. You need online counseling. But audio or video calls might also be problematic—if there’s noise, people around you might find out. If a counselor could chat with you the same way you chat with your close ones, it would be convenient. BloomAid’s online counseling service offers counseling through audio/video/SMS/live chat. As of the time of writing this blog, no platform in Bangladesh offers SMS-live chat, even though they may offer audio-video services.

Problem 3: Generation Z and Alpha

You’re looking for a counselor for your child. Even though you’re thoroughly Bangladeshi, your child is growing up in a foreign culture. You want a counselor who is Bengali, understands Bengali culture, and is experienced in counseling in English, especially with children. BloomAid’s counselors work in the best English medium schools in Bangladesh, where they have over 5 years of experience. They have also been providing counseling services for many years to foreign diplomats and their children residing in Bangladesh. BloomAid Counselor Team is unique in this specific field, which you won’t find on any other platform in Bangladesh.

Problem 4: Cost

Outside Bangladesh, a psychological counselor charges a minimum of $75 to $200+ per hour, depending on the country and context. We’ve seen many clients who need regular counseling, making the cost quite high. BloomAid’s counseling fee is $50 per hour. Additionally, you can have a 30-minute first session for just $20, which is applicable only for foreigners residing in Bangladesh and Bangladeshis living abroad. It’s possible that you or your child might not like BloomAid or our counselors. You can use this $20 package to evaluate whether you want to continue with BloomAid’s services, something you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
