M.S. Clinical Psychology (Government College University Lahore, Pakistan)

Many individuals find it difficult to understand and manage their mental health, whether it’s the distress from negative thoughts, issues with anger management, or the fear and uncertainty that life brings. This often results in feelings of being stuck, misunderstood, or overwhelmed.

I provide evidence-based, empathetic care to tailor treatment to each individual’s needs. I focus on psychoeducation, building resilience, and offering the tools necessary to manage mental health issues effectively. My goal is to help clients understand their challenges, gain control over their lives, and work toward sustainable, positive changes. I create a compassionate environment where clients can feel supported as they navigate their mental health journey.

Education and Experience: I am a Registered Psychological Associate (Supervised Practice), with comprehensive experience working in hospitals, government organizations, and educational settings. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Government College University Lahore, with expertise in therapeutic methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavior Modification. Additionally, I am incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles and techniques into my supervised clinical practice. I am skilled in psychological assessments and have provided therapy for issues like depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, anger management, self-esteem, phobias, stress, and schizophrenia. I also conduct personality and intelligence assessments and provide psychoeducational evaluations. In addition, I support students with academic, relational, and psychological challenges, and provide psychoeducation and counseling to families of psychotic patients. Fluent in English, Urdu, and Punjabi, I enjoy working with diverse cultural groups.

As a Psychological Associate, I’m fascinated by how small changes in the mind can lead to big transformations. Outside of work, I enjoy reading psychology research, spending time with family, and challenging my mind with puzzles and brain games.

Psychometrist & Registered Psychotherapist; Specialist in Psychological Assessment, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and work with the LGBTQ2s+ community.

My work with clients ages 16-65 involves helping them to discover their psychological needs and strengths, and helping them reconnect with who they want to be so that they can make progress on the path to the life they want.

I understand how challenging it can be to feel disconnected from the person we want to be. Together, we will work through uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, and overcome unhelpful behaviours by learning new ways to relate to our suffering and care for ourselves.
