Ms Sana Shamim

Clinical Psychologist

An experienced and emapthetic Clinical Psychologist with Positive Psychology and CBT approach. EMDR therapist.

About Me

I provide empathetic support as a Clinical Psychologist, helping individuals navigate life's complexities. Drawing on Positive Psychology and CBT, I guide you to develop practical coping strategies and build inner resources. I also offer EMDR therapy to process challenging experiences. My aim is to create a space where you can explore difficulties and discover your unique path forward, focusing on your strengths.

Approach

Using a strengths-focused, evidence-informed mix of cognitive techniques and bilateral processing, I guide sessions that are steady and practical, with room for gentle pacing when memories or emotions surface. In my Karachi office or through secure online sessions in English or Hindi/Urdu, we work collaboratively—setting small, achievable steps, practicing skills between meetings, and tracking what shifts for you. Sessions tend to balance focused skill-building with space to process, adapting to adolescents and adults alike. This approach often suits those seeking practical change alongside emotional healing.
