About Me

I offer compassionate support to individuals and families navigating life's challenges. With two years of practice and an MSc in Applied Psychology, I am an experienced counsellor. I work predominantly with children, adults, and older ages. I create a supportive space where every voice is heard, adapting my approach to your unique needs. I am here to guide you and your loved ones towards understanding and lasting growth.

Approach

Helping families and individuals find steadiness, sessions move at your pace—gentle, structured and goal-focused, with room for emotion and practical problem solving. Based in Faisalabad, I offer English and Urdu sessions; in-person and online appointments are available to suit your needs. I use brief assessments, mindfulness and guided visualisations alongside conversational reflection to map patterns, manage anxiety, respond to behaviour concerns and set small, doable steps between meetings. This approach fits adolescents, adults, couples and families seeking steady, practical progress.
