Ms Rabiya Zahid

CBT Psychotherapist

Words have the power to heal and hinder and I am responsible for saying this with complete gratitude. The objective is to grow a person with good positive words. Healing also means taking responsibility for the role you play in your own suffering so, as an empathetic person I motivate the person to take your first step

About Me

I believe words hold immense power to heal, and I guide you to harness them for positive growth. As an empathetic CBT Psychotherapist, I help you explore the thoughts and patterns that hinder your well-being. We will collaborate to understand your role in challenges, motivating you to take practical first steps. My approach empowers those ready to embrace responsibility and build a more resilient future.

Approach

Holding language gently, I help you name unhelpful patterns and craft small, workable shifts that feel doable in daily life. Sessions in Lahore or online—in English, Hindi/Urdu or Punjabi—move between quiet reflection, short behavioural experiments and creative prompts you can try between meetings. We set clear, compassionate tasks, track practical changes in mood, focus, anger and self-image, and use simple framing to reduce overwhelm and strengthen your sense of agency. This way of working suits people who prefer steady, words-led progress and practical steps.
