This guide summarizes how teen psychotherapy works at Bhatta Psychotherapy in Kathmandu and online — for parents and adolescents considering support without shame or gossip.
Teens face exam pressure, social media comparison, identity questions, and family conflict — often while adults tell them they have “easy lives.” Therapy offers a private space to sort what is normal stress vs. what needs help.

Confidentiality — what parents should know
Sessions are private for the teen. Parents are involved when safety requires it (self-harm, abuse) or when the teen agrees. We explain limits clearly at the start — teens trust therapy when it is not a spy mission for parents.

Online vs in-person for teens
Some teens prefer online from their room; others want in-person away from home. Both work when privacy is protected — headphones, closed door, no recording.
