Online therapy in Nepal is widely used — for clients in Kathmandu who travel, for Nepali diaspora abroad, and for anyone who values privacy at home. Here is how booking and sessions work at Bhatta Psychotherapy.

Online is real therapy — same psychologists, same confidentiality ethics, same evidence-based methods — not anonymous chat or AI bots.

How to book

Go to Start intake on bhattpsychotherapy.com (or the Book page)
Note your psychologist preference and session type — individual, couples, teen 14+
Note online vs in-person and your time zone if abroad
Optional: WhatsApp or call first if unsure which service fits
Add your email/phone so the clinic can confirm a time — check spam folder once

Privacy and technology

Use a private room and headphones when possible. Stable Wi‑Fi or mobile data helps; have a backup plan if connection drops. We explain confidentiality limits (including risk of harm) before ongoing work. Video platforms follow professional ethics — not public social media DMs.

Fees and policies

Contact the clinic for current session fees — standard and premium formats available. Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead when possible. Full details are on our FAQ page.

Who online therapy fits

Individual psychotherapy — anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD
Couples therapy — both partners join from same or different locations
Teens 14+ with privacy at home
Professionals and diaspora — US, UK, Gulf, Australia time zones
Not for emergency crisis — use local emergency or TUTH 1166 in Nepal
