Dr Rafia Ijaz

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“I am a Licensed Mental Health Consultant dealing with mental health and behavioral problems including anxiety & depression, OCD, stress, anger, mood swings, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and other mental health problems. I am also providing family counseling, career counseling, and management plans.”

About Me

As a Licensed Mental Health Consultant, I guide individuals, children, and families through a broad range of mental health and behavioural concerns. Whether you're navigating anxiety, ADHD, or family dynamics, I offer tailored support. We collaborate to understand your unique challenges. Together, we develop practical management plans, fostering stability and a clearer path forward for you.

Approach

When you're facing persistent worry, attention challenges or strained family patterns, I work with you to map what matters most and set small, achievable steps. In Rawalpindi or online, in English, Urdu/Hindi or Punjabi, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace—brief experiments in-session, mindful practices, and clear tracking of progress. Between meetings I offer concise reflections and homework that build skills rather than rely on talk alone. This approach often suits people looking for practical, steady change across life and relationships.
