Ms Rakhshanda Rafiq

Psychologist

“An experienced and Client Centered Psychologist, specialized in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and NLP Master Coach and Time Line Therapist.”

About Me

This experienced, client-centred psychologist helps individuals understand their inner world. They use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, NLP, and Time Line Therapy to explore thought patterns and emotional responses. Clients gain practical tools to address current challenges and release past limitations. This approach is ideal for those seeking clear strategies to navigate difficulties and build a more positive future.

Approach

Sessions focus on mapping the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour with clear, practical steps and a steady, collaborative pace. I meet clients in Karachi and online, using English or Hindi/Urdu so interventions and homework fit your daily life and culture. In-session we practise short experiments, reframe stuck patterns and build coping routines, then tailor concise between-session exercises to consolidate change. This approach tends to help people facing transitions, anxiety, OCD, low self‑esteem or burnout.
