Psychologists: half work online, but not all are open in the evening

An office worker's day ends at six, and then comes the question of where to find a psychologist who still sees clients. Of Kazakhstan's 894 psychology practices and centers, 487 offer online sessions, 54%. After seven in the evening 56% work, on Sunday 45%. Online widens this window more than choosing a district does

Oskemen is the reverse of all the others: only half offer online there, but four practices out of five are open in the evening. In Shymkent both figures are low, and you will have to book during working hours

Who exactly do psychologists work with?

Individual adult sessions39544%
Child psychologist32336%
Family psychologist29133%
Teenage psychologist24027%
Defectologist-speech therapist9210%

Only a quarter of practices list teenage sessions. Specialists who directly call themselves teenage psychologists are four times fewer than practices overall, so a parent of a teenager has a harder search than a parent of a preschooler

11% make home visits, 100 practices across the country

Do all psychologists have high ratings?

The average rating is 4.82 across 626 rated practices, one of the highest in our directory, where the average is 4.57. The spread is small, almost all sit near five, and you cannot choose by stars. Look at the focus, the session format, and the hours

We have a separate analysis of why ratings stopped telling businesses apart: ratings tell nothing apart

What this means for you

  1. Half of practices offer online sessions. If your workday runs until six, this removes both the commute and part of the scheduling problem
  2. 56% list evening sessions, 45% Sunday sessions. Confirm the hours before booking, not after
  3. A teenage psychologist is available at 27% of practices. Search for one with that exact word, not "child psychologist"
  4. Ratings do not separate anyone here: 4.82 on average. Choose by focus and format

What this means for an owner

Online sessions are listed by 54% of practices, and the teenage focus by 27%. If you work with teenagers and online but your listing does not say so, you simply will not be found by two filters that most of your neighbors lack

The evening is the second free shelf. After seven, 56% are open, even though a psychologist's main client works during the day

Where the numbers come from

The open 2GIS directory, August 2026. Kazakhstan has 894 active psychology practices and centers, 818 have a schedule listed, and 626 have a rating. Online sessions and focus areas were taken from listed services, with shares out of all 894 listings. A practice counted as evening if its schedule runs past 19:00. The city table shows cities with at least twenty-five practices
