Do you treat active domestic violence couples together?

Joint sessions are not safe in active abuse; individual support and safety resources come first.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes within professional limits — discuss exceptions (risk of harm) at intake.

Trauma, abuse, or grief therapy in Kathmandu

Trauma, abuse, and grief often overlap — a violent relationship ends in grief; childhood abuse surfaces during parenting; migration loss triggers old wounds. At Bhatta Psychotherapy we offer paced, trauma-informed individual therapy — not crisis police services, but ongoing psychological recovery when you are safe enough to begin.

Safety first

If you are in immediate danger from a partner or family member, contact local emergency services or trusted shelters first. Therapy complements safety planning — it does not replace it.

Complex trauma (CPTSD) — chronic invalidation, control, neglect

Shame and self-blame after harm you survived
