What a counsellor does, and how counselling differs from psychotherapy
Everyone on this page describes their work as counselling. A counsellor listens and helps you find your own solutions to problems.
The training emphasises the conversation itself. Sessions usually stay close to something happening now: a loss, a relationship, work, a decision. That focus is what most often separates counselling from longer psychotherapy.
A counsellor is not a medical doctor and does not prescribe. Ask a counsellor what they work with, and for how long.
What this page filters on
Everyone on this list gave counsellor as their professional title. Nothing else narrows the list.
The Karachi page answers more questions about therapy there.
Who registers therapists in Pakistan?
The title you will see is Counsellor. The Allied Health Professionals Council holds the register. Ask a practitioner whether they are registered and licensed with the Council, and under which discipline.
The Council lists psychology and counselling as one discipline, so both share one registration 1. The Council's online check asks for a registration number and a CNIC or NICOP 2. The Sindh Mental Health Authority has its office in Clifton, Karachi 3.
What these practitioners record
The areas of focus listed most often here are Anxiety (7), Relationship Issues (6) and Abuse (5).
Sessions here are offered in English and Hindi/Urdu.
