Approach

Grounded in a practical, diligent approach, I shape sessions to move from clear assessment to doable change, keeping pace steady and focused. From my base in Lahore I offer both in-person and online appointments, working in English and Hindi/Urdu to make sure understanding feels natural. Sessions blend careful listening, brief experiential work and targeted skill-practice, with simple between-session experiments to test what helps. This way of working suits adults and parents seeking structured, compassionate support to reduce anxiety, stress or low mood and build resilience.
