Mrs Afifa Shahzad Anwer Shiekh

Clinical Psychologist

“An experienced and competent psychologist working for the benefits of Adults and Children's mental health”

About Me

As an experienced clinical psychologist, I work with adults and children to support their mental wellbeing. I offer a compassionate space where we can explore feelings and understand challenges together. My aim is to help you develop practical strategies to navigate life's complexities and build lasting resilience. Clients find my approach grounded and effective, appreciating clear guidance that fosters positive change for themselves and their families.

Approach

Committed to supporting wellbeing across ages, I help families and individuals translate difficult moments into clearer steps toward change. In my Multan practice and online sessions, I blend English, Urdu/Hindi and Punjabi to ensure comfort and practical follow-through between meetings. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace: careful listening, focused observations, and reflective tasks that uncover patterns in mood, behaviour and relationships while also offering short, manageable strategies to try at home. This way of working suits people seeking thoughtful, realistic progress for themselves or their children.
