Write for Us
Write for Психологічна допомога
Our readers come to this site looking for clear, careful writing about mental health. Some are psychologists and counsellors who want practical material they can use with clients. Others are people trying to understand their own anxiety, grief, or the long shadow of a traumatic experience, often at a point when they have already read too much vague advice elsewhere. They are not looking for inspiration. They are looking for something true and useful.
If you write for us, your work sits alongside material that people read slowly and return to. A well-argued piece on trauma responses, or a plain account of what therapy actually involves, can answer a question a reader has carried for years. That is the standard we hold contributions to, and it is why we take the time to edit rather than simply publish.
What we publish
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress: how symptoms present, how they are assessed, and what treatment pathways exist.
- Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, including first-person accounts written with care and consent.
- Therapy practice: approaches, what happens in a session, and how clients and clinicians work together.
- Mental health in daily life: sleep, work, relationships, grief, and the ordinary pressures that shape wellbeing.
- Public health and mental health systems: access to care, waiting lists, community services, and policy where it affects patients.
- Research summaries that translate findings for a general reader without overstating what the evidence shows.
Guest posts and sponsored articles
We accept both contributed editorial and sponsored placements. If you want to write for us as an unpaid contributor, your guest post is published under your name and stays online permanently. Pages are indexed and remain in our archive. Editorial links in contributed pieces are dofollow.
A sponsored post is clearly labelled as such, and we disclose paid placement where the law or platform rules require it. Sponsorship does not buy a change in our editorial judgement: the piece still has to be accurate, readable, and relevant to our readers. Pricing is available on request. Our usual turnaround from accepted draft to publication is three to five working days.
Guidelines
- Original and unpublished work. We do not republish material that has appeared elsewhere, including on your own blog.
- 800 words or more. Longer is fine if the subject carries it.
- One or two relevant links at most, to sources a reader would genuinely want to follow.
- No gambling, adult, or pharmaceutical content. We decline these outright.
- An author bio is optional. If you send one, keep it to a few lines and tell us how you would like your name spelled.
- We edit for house style, clarity, and length. We will not change your argument, and we will tell you if we think a claim needs support.
Read our contributor guidelines above before you submit an article. They are short, and following them saves everyone a round of emails.
How to pitch
Email guestpost@psyservice.org with a subject line in the form "Guest post: <topic>". Include a short outline of what you intend to cover, roughly 100 to 150 words, and a link to something you have written before. You do not need a finished draft to pitch. If the idea fits, we will ask for the full piece and give you a word count and a deadline. Pitches that arrive without an outline or a writing sample are hard to assess, so please include both. You can also write to guestpost@psyservice.org if you have a question before pitching.
We read every pitch that reaches guestpost@psyservice.org and reply to those we can use. If you have not heard from us within two weeks, the idea was not right for us this time, and you are welcome to pitch something else later. Send your outline to guestpost@psyservice.org and we will take it from there.
