Miss Sara Aleem
Counsellor,
Karachi.
Services
I offer online counselling sessions over Zoom, WhatsApp, or any other agreed upon medium. I have a structured but non-directive, empathic, non-judgemental, holistic, and humanistic approach towards counseling. My aim as a psychologist is to provide unconditional support and a non-judgemental safe space to people who approach me, and to help them navigate through their issues to improve their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Counselling is a healing process, and it takes time and effort on part of both the practitioner and the counselee. And my approach is to treat the this healing process as a two way learning experience.
In addition to the areas mentioned below I like to work with people with eating relayed issues. I have a training called STRIPED and have several trainings on eating disorders. If you are struggling with your eating issues do reach out.
If you want to engage me as your Counselor you will have to fill an online agreement form and submit a copy of your CNIC. Each session is of 50 minutes and fee is required to be paid in advance. For agreement form and more details contact me at [email protected].
Only emails and messages with proper details (Name, Age, Issue, and Preferred Time and Day) are entertained. To save your time do not make a call, apologies for that in advance.

Pica:Eating Inedible
Do you know someone or have you ever felt like eating something which is not edible such as clay, chalk, paper, coal, soap, or anything that's not meant for eating? If yes, then you are already familiar with Pica. Although recently classified as a psychological disorder pica dates back to ancient times and has been historically associated with cravings of pregnancy. However, recent research shows that pica can affect anyone regardless of their age and gender, and is not exclusive to women. According to DSM-5 TR pica is diagnosed when someone consumes a non-food inedible item for at least a period of three months. The behaviour is developmentally inappropriate and not part of any cultural, religious, or social practice (American Psychological Association, 2022).Pica goes underreported because it is often not recognized as a psychological issue and people may also hesitate in sharing that they have it.
