About Me
I am an internationally trained Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist in Lahore, specializing in a holistic approach to mental health. I provide a safe, confidential space for those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress.
My practice is unique because I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Somatic Therapy and Compassionate Inquiry. This allows us to not only address your thoughts but also process how stress and trauma are held in the body. By uncovering the root causes of your struggles, we work toward deep, lasting healing rather than just surface-level change.
Whether you are looking for an online therapist in Pakistan or in-person sessions in Lahore (Bahria Town), I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed environment tailored to your pace.
Reach out today to begin your journey toward clarity and emotional resilience.
Approach
My approach as a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist is integrative and client-centered, ensuring each session is paced to feel safe and manageable. I blend evidence-based practical skills with gentle exploration to shift patterns tied to anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction.
My work integrates:
Somatic Noticing & Mindful Grounding: To help you regulate your nervous system and process how stress is held in the body.
Compassionate Inquiry & CBT: To uncover root causes while providing practical tools for daily life.
I offer therapy in English and Urdu, catering to adolescents and adults in Lahore and via online therapy across Pakistan.
To support your progress between sessions, I often suggest small, mindful practices to try at home. These are designed to be supportive, not a burden. They are gentle invitations to bring healing into your daily routine without adding to your stress. This balanced way of working helps you achieve steady, practical change alongside deep emotional insight.
Services
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults and adolescents, providing dedicated support for anxiety, depression, and stress management in a safe, trauma-informed space to navigate life transitions, emotional difficulties, and personal growth.
I use somatic therapy and nervous system regulation to move beyond traditional talk therapy, incorporating somatic awareness to help you process how trauma and chronic stress are held in the body and support deeper physiological healing.
Through Compassionate Inquiry (root cause healing), I work collaboratively with you to uncover underlying beliefs and early-life patterns that influence current behaviors, addictions, and emotional blocks.
I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a goal-oriented, evidence-based approach that helps you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, offering practical tools to manage daily triggers and improve overall well-being.
I offer relationship and marriage counseling using Imago Relationship Therapy techniques to enhance communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild emotional connection between partners.
I provide addiction and recovery support with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, focusing on addressing underlying emotional distress rather than symptoms alone.
I offer online therapy across Pakistan through confidential, secure video platforms for clients in Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, and internationally, with sessions available in both Urdu and English.
