About Me

I am a registered psychotherapist practicing in Karachi East End, Central London and Winnipeg. I treat abuse, anxiety, grief, mood disorders and relationship issues related to divorce. I provide child psychological and diagnostic assessments, trauma counseling, general counseling and wellness support.

Approach

I use the Humanistic Integrative therapy approach which is a combination of Person-Centered, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and a few elements of CBT.

This approach is non-directive but structured, empathic, non-judgmental, humanistic, compassionate. It offers clients a safe space to share whatever is in their hearts and mind. With this approach clients usually feel secure to reveal their real selves.

It helps clients to:

Gain self-confidence
Have a strong self-belief and self-concept
Enhance self-esteem
Lower anxiety or any other unsettling emotions
Live in the present moments
Locus on individual inner emotional and psychological process
Connect and heal trauma or distress related to childhood
Improve self-image and lower down self-critique
Strengthen inner validation and locus of evaluation
Become emotionally fit and independent
