About Me

I provide CBT and Counseling, supporting adults and teenagers as they navigate life's challenges. I offer life coaching and anxiety management services for young adults and teenagers. My focus is creating a safe, comfortable space where you can openly explore thoughts and feelings. Sessions are designed to guide you through practical CBT techniques, building resilience. I aim to foster clear understanding and lasting change within a secure, supportive environment.

Approach

My training in CBT shapes how I structure sessions, keeping them practical, collaborative and paced to your needs. In Islamabad I offer face-to-face and online appointments in English, Urdu/Hindi or Punjabi, and I aim for a calm, respectful space where immediate concerns are explored. Sessions blend thoughtful assessment, short skill-building exercises, mindfulness practice and brief between-session tasks so you can test changes between meetings. This approach tends to suit people seeking clear tools and steady progress with anxiety, mood or relationship challenges.
