About Me

I integrate my medical background with extensive psychological expertise, drawing from diverse fields like cognitive, health, and developmental psychology. This allows me to offer a holistic approach to your well-being. We can explore how thoughts, emotions, and physical health intertwine, finding practical strategies tailored to your unique journey. My aim is to help you build resilience and thrive.

Approach

Rooted in medicine and psychology, my focus moves from understanding to hands-on problem-solving that respects your pace and priorities. In sessions (in Karachi or online, in English or Urdu/Hindi) we blend careful assessment with short-term experiments—gentle homework, behaviour shifts, and thinking work—so change feels measurable and manageable. I track progress with clinical measures and plain conversation, adjusting plans as we go. People juggling family, fertility concerns, or self-worth often find this practical, steady way of working useful.
