I was initially nervous about seeking therapy, but the staff made me feel comfortable from the start. They listened attentively and provided insightful feedback that helped me understand my feelings better. The sessions have been incredibly beneficial, and I now feel more equipped to handle stress and anxiety. I can't recommend Bhatta enough for anyone seeking mental health support.”
“I've seen significant improvements in my mental health since starting therapy at Bhatta Psychotherapy. The techniques I've learned are practical and effective, allowing me to manage my stress and anxiety more effectively. The therapists are attentive and provide personalized care, ensuring that I feel supported throughout my journey.

Setmore reviews
See all 52 on Setmore →Setmore“I've been in therapy with Dr. Bhatta for the past one and a half months, focusing on emotional relationship issues, trauma bonding, and anxiety. During this time, I've felt genuinely supported, guided, and listened to in a way that has made a real difference in my day-to-day life. Dr. Bhatta has helped me better understand my emotional patterns and taught me practical tools to manage overwhelming feelings and relationship stress. He's also taken the time to explain how medications work, and what my options are — always in a respectful and informative way, never forceful. What I appreciate most is how safe and seen I feel in our sessions. Therapy can bring up a lot, but Dr. Bhatta holds space with calmness and empathy, making it easier to open up and truly reflect. I'm learning to recognize and break out of old patterns like trauma bonding, and I've already noticed meaningful changes in how I relate to myself and others. I'm very grateful for this journey with Dr. Bhatta, and I would genuinely recommend him to anyone looking for thoughtful, compassionate, and empowering support through therapy.”
Setmore“Finally I got diagnosed with ADHD after years. I have been getting treatment of anxiety which never cured my anxiety rather I got worse during last few years. Thanks to Bhatta sir who diagnosed and showed me a path to heal, I know it will take time but I am relieved to know, no more self criticism. Thank you again.”
Setmore“Dammar sir helped me a lot and provided very helpful feedback. I'm looking forward to the next session. If you are facing any kind of mental health challenges, please don't hesitate to seek support from Bhatta Psychotherapy.”
Setmore“First ever session of counselling with Srijana mam. She is calmest person to talk to.”
Setmore“After each session, I feel calm and can understand and handle my emotions better.”
Setmore“Excellent experience with the team.”

Common questions
Grouped by what visitors usually ask first. See all FAQs →
Starting without a diagnosis
No. Many clients start because they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or in pain — not because they have a formal diagnosis. Your therapist will help clarify patterns in session.
Use Find your therapy path or book a short clarity call. You do not need the right words — showing up is enough.
Choosing therapy & fit
See our Find your therapy path page, or the therapy approach section on the homepage (CBT, DBT-informed, trauma-focused, couples). We align approach to your goals at the first session.
Yes. We integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT-informed skills, ACT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused work.
Book a free 10-minute clarity call, or use Find your therapy path to compare individual, couples, teen, trauma, ADHD, and professional support.
Effectiveness & Nepal context
Our team works in Nepal with clients locally and abroad. Sessions account for culture, family dynamics, and language preferences (English and Nepali) — online or in person in Kathmandu.
Progress is discussed openly in session — feeling heard, calmer, and clearer on next steps are common early signs. We adjust pace and approach together.
International & cross-border
Yes. Many expats attend in person in English. See Therapy for international clients for ethics, format, and how to start without pressure.
Many clients attend secure video sessions from the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and the diaspora. We explain cross-border limits and confidentiality clearly so you can decide if our practice fits you.
Our psychologists practice from Nepal under Nepali professional standards and APA-aligned ethics. We do not claim licensure in your home jurisdiction. A clarity call can help you weigh this against local options.
Parents & teens
Adolescent psychotherapy is for ages 14–17. Young adults 18+ are usually seen under individual psychotherapy. Children under 14 are not treated here — please contact Kanti Children’s Hospital pediatric psychiatric OPD.
Home and school support matter, but repeated lectures or discipline without change may mean underlying anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma. School refusal, sleep disruption, and withdrawal for weeks are valid reasons to seek help. See our teen page parent guide.
Late sleep, missed homework, and school avoidance are often anxiety, depression, ADHD, or burnout — not laziness. A psychologist can help assess patterns without blaming your teen.
Practical & booking
Yes. Many clients attend secure video sessions from anywhere in Nepal and internationally (US, UK, Australia, Europe, and the diaspora). See Therapy for international clients for expat and cross-border details.
Use Book appointment — you will go to our secure Setmore scheduling page. We confirm format and fees before your first full session.
No. If you are in crisis in Nepal, call the TUTH Helpline at 1166 (24/7). Otherwise contact local emergency services or a crisis line in your country.
