About Me
I am a Clinical Psychologist with Graduate Membership, practicing in Bahria Town Phase 7, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. I help adolescents and families facing abuse, trauma, or family conflict. I provide assessments, psychological and diagnostic testing, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and child and adolescent therapy.
Approach
I use a trauma informed approach which consists of 4 main phases; the orientation phase, the psychoeducation phase, the intervention phase and post traumatic growth phase. I use a range of therapeutic modalities guided by attachment theory and psychodynamic theory of Carl Jung. My approach is client centric. The main modalities I use in my sessions include TF-CBT, mindfulness based psychotherapy (MBT), somatic work, inner child work and transference based psychotherapy.
