Ms Rija Munir

Psychologist

“Provides support for stress, anxiety, and depression. Helps with school and career-related concerns. Uses CBT, EFT, and psychological first aid.Promotes emotional well-being and resilience.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space for adults and young people navigating stress, anxiety, or depression. We can explore school or career concerns together, finding practical ways forward. I draw on approaches like CBT and psychological first aid to help you build emotional well-being and resilience. My aim is to equip you with tools to manage daily challenges and feel more grounded.

Approach

I focus on turning overwhelming days and persistent worry into manageable steps, helping you notice small, practical shifts that create steadiness. I work with people in Rawalpindi and online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, keeping sessions calm and paced so we can try short exercises, reflective questions and guided visualisation when helpful. Therapy combines skill practice, brief emotion-focused techniques and clear problem-mapping so you leave with one concrete strategy and gentle, doable tasks between meetings. This way suits students and professionals juggling study, work or family demands who want steady progress.
