A Safe Space to Heal, Explore, and Grow — One Session at a Time

Welcome to Auxiliary, a psychotherapy organization grounded in empathy, clinical excellence, and a deep understanding of emotional and psychological needs. We’re here to help you navigate life’s challenges — whether you’re struggling, growing, or simply exploring yourself more deeply.

Who We Are

Auxiliary is a team of highly trained and dedicated mental health professionals based across Bangladesh. All our psychologists hold at least a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, with many having completed their MPhil. They bring a strong foundation of academic excellence, research experience, and a deep understanding of psychological practice.

Several members of our team have over 13 to 14 years of experience in therapy, training, and clinical supervision. Their long-standing engagement in the mental health field ensures that clients receive care that is not only compassionate, but also informed by years of hands-on, real-world expertise.

Our therapists regularly participate in both providing and receiving clinical supervision, staying updated with the latest developments in the field, and maintaining high standards of ethical and professional practice.

What We Offer Support For

Our therapy services are designed to support a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including:

  • Depression & Mood Disorders

  • Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and OCD

  • Relationship and Intimacy Challenges

  • Sexual Wellness and Identity Exploration

  • Child and Adolescent Behavioral or Emotional Issues

  • Parenting Challenges and Guidance

  • Trauma and Stress-related Difficulties

  • Personal Growth Areas — such as communication skills, problem-solving, assertiveness, decision-making, and more

Whether you’re seeking support for mental health challenges or working on self-development, we’re here to walk alongside you with care and expertise.

Our Therapists: Experienced, Empathetic, and Ethical

At Auxiliary, we prioritize creating a nonjudgmental and respectful space for everyone. Our therapists are:

  • Empathetic and understanding

  • Skilled active listeners

  • Strongly committed to maintaining confidentiality and ethical practice

Their years of clinical work, supervision, and advanced training help ensure that clients receive professional and compassionate support tailored to their needs.

Therapy Approaches We Use

Our team is well-versed in a range of evidence-based and creative therapy modalities. All our therapists are trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and many also specialize in:

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

  • Psychodrama

  • Art Therapy

  • Relaxation Techniques

  • Mindfulness-Based Approaches

  • Transactional Analysis (TA)

This diversity in therapeutic approaches allows us to offer flexible and individualized treatment plans.

How We Work

While Auxiliary has a physical office in Rajshahi, we primarily provide services virtually. Our focus is on maintaining the highest standards of care in online therapy, making support accessible regardless of location.

We also offer in-person therapy sessions in Dhaka and other regions. Clients can book appointments with psychologists through our platform and attend sessions at the therapist’s chamber, based on their availability.

Our blended model ensures that you can access mental health support from anywhere in Bangladesh, with both flexibility and professional integrity.

More Than Therapy: What Else We Offer

In addition to individual therapy, we also organize:

  • Weekly Online Relaxation Sessions

  • Psychoeducational Workshops on topics such as parenting, mindfulness, sleep management, and emotional regulation

  • Group Therapy Programs for OCD, Panic Disorder, and more

  • Professional Trainings for psychologists and mental health professionals

These activities allow us to support the community beyond the therapy room.

Our Vision: The Empty Chair

The name Auxiliary is inspired by the concept of the “auxiliary ego”, introduced by Dr. J.L. Moreno, the founder of Psychodrama. It reflects our commitment to being a supportive presence — one that helps individuals express, process, and rediscover their inner voice.

Auxiliary’s vision is also shaped by the legacy of Dr. Herb Propper, who laid the foundation of psychodrama practice in Bangladesh. His deep humanistic values, creative energy, and belief in the transformative power of connection continue to influence our approach. We carry forward his spirit — not only through the methods we use, but through the compassionate, nonjudgmental space we strive to create for every individual.

The empty chair symbolizes that space:

The chair is open , safe, and ready. It is yours — for your voice, your pain, your growth , healing, and connection.

We are here to walk beside you.
