Start where you are
International, expat, or diaspora — find your fit without pressure
Whether you live in Nepal or abroad, you deserve clear information about how care works, what the limits are, and what happens next. This explorer does not replace informed consent — it helps you decide your own next step.
Who are you?
Important to know
Expats in Kathmandu can access in-person or online care
Many foreign nationals and long-term visitors prefer an English-speaking psychologist in the city — for adjustment, work stress, relationships, or general mental health support. Sessions are at Anurag Marg, Kathmandu, or secure video when travel or schedule makes online easier.
Multicultural care — not one-size-fits-all Nepali framing
We adapt to your background, values, and language. You are not expected to explain yourself only through Nepali cultural lenses. English sessions are available; Nepali when that fits you. The goal is understanding your life in context — wherever you come from.
In-person vs online — you choose
In-person suits many expats in Kathmandu. Online suits clients abroad or those who travel. You can start with a short clarity call to discuss format, time zones, and whether our practice is a good fit — with no obligation to book a full session.
Pressure vs. your choice
What often gets in the way
- Feeling rushed to book before you understand limits
- Shame about needing help in a foreign country
- Assuming online abroad is always the same as local care
- Pressure from family to avoid therapy or only use certain healers
- Expecting instant fixes without pacing
How we approach international clients
- Free clarity call to ask questions first
- Clear explanation of cross-border and confidentiality limits
- You choose format, pace, and whether to continue

Possible next steps

Common questions
- I am an American or European living in Kathmandu — can I see you in person?
- Yes. Many expats attend in person at our Kathmandu office. English sessions are available. You can start with a free clarity call to discuss fit and format.
- I live in the US, UK, or Europe — can I do therapy online with you?
- Many clients attend secure video sessions from abroad. We are a Nepal-based practice — we explain cross-border limits, time zones, and confidentiality clearly so you can decide if this fits you.
- Are you licensed in my country?
- Our psychologists practice from Nepal under Nepali professional standards and APA-aligned ethics. We do not claim licensure in your US state, UK register, or other jurisdiction. A clarity call can help you weigh this against local options.
- Is this an emergency service?
- No. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis line in your country. In Nepal, TUTH helpline 1166 (24/7).
- Will you pressure me to book?
- No. A clarity call is for questions and fit — you decide whether to schedule a full session, wait, or seek care elsewhere.
- Do you offer couples therapy online internationally?
- Yes, when both partners can attend secure video sessions. Time zones are discussed at booking.
- What is the difference between psychotherapy and psychological coaching?
- Psychotherapy addresses significant emotional distress. Psychological coaching is goal-directed when you are generally stable. We help you choose honestly.
- How do I start?
- Book a free 10-minute clarity call, or use the explorer on this page, or browse services. No single path is required.
