We love hosting thoughtful, curious voices from across the psychological community — and we’re always open to guest contributions from therapists, psychologists, and mental health professionals who have something meaningful to share.
Whether you’re passionate about trauma-informed travel, cultural psychology, parenting abroad, or the emotional impact of grief and place — your perspective matters. We believe that psychology is richer when it reflects many voices, and we’re here to amplify yours.
Why contribute? Because your expertise deserves space beyond the therapy room. Writing for The Travel Psychologist is a chance to share your insights with a wider audience, build visibility for your work, and connect with readers who are genuinely curious about the emotional side of travel and wellbeing. We currently welcome around 300 visitors a day — and many are looking for exactly what you have to offer.
If you’ve ever wanted to write about the intersection of psychology and lived experience, this is your invitation.

- Editorial support — gentle guidance and feedback from our Founder to help shape your piece with clarity and resonance
- A backlink to your website or offerings — whether it’s your private practice, blog, book, or course, we’ll help readers find you (our Domain Authority is currently 39 and growing!)

Who do we accept guest contributions from?
We welcome guest contributions from:
- Registered therapists, psychologists, and mental health professionals with lived experience, clinical insight, or a unique perspective to share
- Writers and researchers exploring the emotional impact of travel, place, and wellbeing
- Practitioners with niche expertise — whether it’s trauma-informed travel, cultural psychology, parenting abroad, or something beautifully specific
- Anyone in the psychological field who wants to reflect, educate, or spark curiosity in others
We’re especially keen to host diverse voices and underrepresented perspectives — because psychology is richer when it reflects the full spectrum of human experience.
Submission process and practicalities
If you have an idea for a guest article, we’d love to hear from you. Just drop us a message at thetravelpsychologists@gmail.com with a brief outline of your idea, along with a few details about you — including your qualifications, professional registration, and the area of psychology you work in.
Deadlines & Scheduling
If we decide to move forward, we’ll agree on a deadline that works for you. We usually schedule articles at least two months in advance, so there’s no pressure to write to a tight turnaround. We want this to feel spacious and intentional.
Author Guidelines
You’ll receive a simple set of author guidelines to help shape your piece. Occasionally, we may suggest specific phrases or keywords to include — this helps your article reach more readers via Google and supports our SEO strategy.
Use of AI in Submissions
We welcome the use of AI as a supportive tool in the writing process — especially if it helps you shape, clarify, or express your expertise more effectively. Many contributors use AI (including me!) to bring their ideas to life. It can be incredibly helpful — but it should always be a co-writer, not the author.
We ask that all submissions reflect your own clinical insight, lived experience, and professional voice. AI can assist, but the heart of the article should come from you. We do check submissions for substantial AI-generated content, and we reserve the right to decline pieces that feel overly generic or disconnected from personal expertise.
Our goal is to showcase your perspective — with a little help, if needed.
Editorial Process
As Editor, I may suggest small edits to improve readability or SEO — but nothing will be changed without your consent. You’ll retain full intellectual property over your work.
On rare occasions, more substantial edits may be needed. If that happens, I’ll provide clear feedback and recommendations, but the final revisions will be yours to make. Your voice matters, and we want it to come through clearly in everything you write.
