Bangladesh has no statutory register for psychologists, counsellors or psychotherapists, and no law requires a licence to practise talking therapy. Psychiatrists are the exception: they are medical doctors registered with the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council.
For psychologists, the marker to ask about is voluntary professional membership, most notably the Bangladesh Clinical Psychology Society, whose members typically hold the University of Dhaka MPhil in clinical psychology. Membership signals training; it is not a licence.
