Ms Fatima Altaf

CBT Psychotherapist

“An experienced Clinical Psychologist/CBT Psychotherapist proficient in the treatment of a variety of mental/psychological disorders and distress. I work with a wide variety of clientele ranging from preteens and adolescents to adults.”

About Me

As an experienced Clinical Psychologist and CBT Psychotherapist, I support individuals facing various mental health challenges. My approach, rooted in CBT principles, guides preteens, adolescents, and adults towards greater well-being. I help clients develop practical strategies to manage distress. If you are seeking a skilled professional for diverse psychological disorders, I offer a clear, structured path.

Approach

Building on structured CBT principles, I guide therapy with clear goals and practical steps so clients know what each session will address. In Islamabad or online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, sessions feel focused and collaborative — we pace work to fit school, family, or work commitments. I use short experiments, thought records and tailored between-session tasks while checking in regularly with adolescents, adults and parents to track progress. This way of working suits people looking for straightforward, manageable change.
