Moving abroad for work or study can be exciting. It can also be lonely and hard. Long shifts, visa worries, money sent home, exams, and missing family all add up. Many people keep it to themselves because they do not want to worry anyone at home.
You do not have to deal with it alone. I am a Nepali psychiatrist in Kathmandu, and I see clients online from many countries. We can talk in Nepali or English, at a time that suits your time zone.
Your time and Kathmandu time
Why see a Nepali psychiatrist from abroad?
- You can speak in your own language and be understood, including things that are hard to explain to a foreign doctor.
- I understand the pressures Nepali families and Nepali workers and students face.
- I have also lived and worked far from home, so I know how hard it can be.
- If you need medicine, I can work with your local doctor so you get treatment where you live.
- Your family in Nepal can join a session, or visit the clinic in Kathmandu, if you want them to.

In an emergency
Online sessions are not for emergencies. If you or someone else is in danger, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital now. Each country page lists local emergency and crisis numbers.
Common questions
Can I see you online if I live outside Nepal?
Yes. Many of my online clients live abroad. Sessions are by Google Meet, and times are arranged to suit your time zone.
Do I need to tell my employer or university?
No. What you share stays between you and me, except in the rare case where someone's life is in danger.
Can my family in Nepal book for me?
Yes. A family member can contact us and pay in Nepal. But the person who needs help should agree to the session.
