Ms Amina Iftikhar

Registered Clinical Psychologists

“I am an experienced and professional Clinical Psychologist working in the field of Psychology from last 13 years. CBT and DBT focused therapy.”

About Me

I offer focused support, drawing on 13 years of experience as a Clinical Psychologist. My approach helps individuals develop practical skills to manage challenging emotions and unhelpful thought patterns. Using evidence-based CBT and DBT, I guide clients in building resilience. This structured, collaborative work is ideal for those seeking clear strategies to improve their daily well-being.

Approach

Work in sessions unfolds with clear structure and gentle pacing: we identify what feels most urgent, try short experiments in-session, and translate insights into small, doable steps between meetings. From my Lahore base I offer appointments in English and Urdu and provide both face-to-face and online slots so families, children and adults can connect consistently. Techniques draw on CBT, DBT and ACT principles—skill rehearsal, emotion regulation and values-guided choices—delivered in a collaborative, straightforward way. This approach suits those seeking practical change and steady progress.
