Couple counseling questions, answered
What is couple counseling?
Couple counseling is a structured conversation between two partners and a trained mental health professional. The counselor helps you understand repeating conflicts, communicate without blame and agree on practical changes. It is useful at any stage, not only when a marriage is in crisis.
How much does couple counseling cost in Bangladesh?
At HealthyLife, the four week Pre-Marriage Program costs Tk 3,500 per couple, live couple workshops start from Tk 800, and your first private written question is free. Fees for ongoing couple sessions are shared on WhatsApp before you book. In Dhaka, private couple sessions at counseling centres commonly range from about Tk 2,500 to Tk 7,500.
Can we do couple counseling online in Bangladesh?
Yes. All HealthyLife couple counseling, programs and workshops happen online by phone or video, in Bangla. Couples join from Dhaka, other districts and abroad, including long distance couples where one partner works overseas.
What if my husband or wife does not want to join?
You can start alone. An individual session or a private written question helps you understand the pattern and plan how to invite your partner. Many partners join later once they see it is private and practical.
Is pre-marriage counseling worth it?
For most couples, yes. It gives you a safe space to talk about family expectations, money, roles and intimacy before these become conflicts. Our Pre-Marriage Program covers these topics over four weekly online sessions.
Is couple counseling confidential?
Yes. You can use nicknames, cameras can stay off in group programs, and we never share anything with family members or anyone else.
When is couple counseling not the right first step?
If there is violence, threats or fear in the relationship, joint sessions are not safe. Call 999 in an emergency, or the national helpline 109 for violence against women and children. Individual support is the right starting point.
