Free Text Therapy for Teens in Pakistan: Privacy Rules
Wondering if you can message a psychologist privately without your parents finding out? This page explains where free online text chat is available for teenagers in Pakistan and exactly what confidentiality rules apply to minors.
I'm a teenager and I need to talk to a psychologist through private text chat, not phone or video. Are free online text sessions available for someone my age, and do my parents have to be told? Also, what is the confidentiality policy for minors?
Aap can get help through private text chat, and yes, there are free options available for someone your age. Our HEALING community (chat.whatsapp.com/FK1ID0YTT8R9KCUzubzp3k) is a moderated peer-support group on WhatsApp - real people, not a crisis line, and you can talk there without telling your parents. For a psychologist, aap can search for one in aap's city at depression.pk/find-help. Many professionals offer text-based sessions.

Confidentiality for minors
In Pakistan, aap are legally an adult at 18, and until then your parents are responsible for your care. If a psychologist agrees to see aap privately, they may still need to tell your parents, especially if they think you are in danger. If aap want to keep the sessions private, it is best to ask them directly about their confidentiality policy before starting.
