Sidra Shakoor

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

An experienced, professional clinical psychologist & qualified psychotherapist working with individuals from all age-groups, and all mental health difficulties. I believe that all individuals, regardless of their struggles or conditions, are entitled to treatment with dignity.

About Me

As an experienced clinical psychologist, I support individuals of all ages through mental health challenges. My core belief is that everyone deserves dignified, respectful treatment, regardless of their struggles. We can explore your concerns together in a safe, collaborative space where your unique journey is honoured. My aim is to help you navigate difficulties and find a path towards greater well-being.

Approach

Respect and dignity guide how I work, so sessions unfold at a steady, practical pace that balances reflection with concrete steps. In Sargodha and online, in English, Urdu/Hindi or Punjabi, I match rhythm and language to what feels manageable—short check-ins, focused exercises, and time to revisit between meetings. We set small, clear goals together, test what helps, and adjust as needed, particularly when dealing with trauma, anxiety, sleep or relationship strain. This approach suits people who want respectful, solution-focused collaboration.
