Why Professional Qualifications Matter in Mental Health – The Raju Akon Centre Difference

In Bangladesh, anyone with a Master’s degree can call themselves a psychologist—but not everyone is professionally recognised as a Counselling or Educational Psychologist. That’s what sets Raju Akon Mental Health Care Centre apart.

At the heart of the centre are two nationally recognised experts:

• Raju Akon – Counselling Psychologist, MPhil-DU
• Sadia Akon – Educational & Child Psychologist, MPhil-DU

Both are husband and wife, and both hold the prestigious M.Phil degree from the University of Dhaka, the highest academic credential required to practice as a psychologist in this field officially. They are among only 25 professionals certified by the Bangladesh Educational and Counselling Psychology Society (BECPS).

This rare qualification isn’t just a title—it reflects years of clinical work, research, and academic excellence, ensuring clients receive safe, ethical, and effective care.

Beyond Degrees: Globally Informed, Locally Grounded

Raju Akon and Sadia Akon have received advanced training from global institutions, equipping them with the most up-to-date tools in modern psychology. At this centre, clients benefit from:

• Evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, REBT, EMDR, TA, and NLP
• Neurodevelopmental intervention methods like ABA, ESDM, PECS
• Specialised care for trauma, autism, ADHD, learning and intellectual disabilities
• Innovative therapy approaches, including Creative Therapy, MeST, and Nonviolent Communication
• Whether you’re seeking therapy for your child’s developmental needs or looking for marriage counselling or trauma support for yourself, the centre provides a customised, expert-driven treatment path—not a one-size-fits-all model.

Why It Matters Where You Get Help

Many organisations in Bangladesh claim to offer “psychological services,” but their teams are often staffed only with MS-level graduates without supervised clinical training. In contrast, Raju Akon Mental Health Care Centre guarantees care from M.Phil-qualified professionals, which means:

• Better diagnostic accuracy
• Scientifically designed interventions
• Ethical boundaries and confidentiality
• National and international recognition

This is especially critical for treating sensitive concerns like autism, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and learning difficulties.

Real Help. Real Credentials. Real Results.

When you choose Raju Akon Mental Health Care Centre, you’re not just meeting with a counsellor—you’re working with two of the most qualified mental health experts in Bangladesh, who are redefining ethical and effective therapy in the country.
