Mrs Shahana Masood

Psychologist

“Proficient in CBT, ABA, psychological assessment, cousneling adults and children both.”

About Me

As a psychologist, I support both adults and children navigating life's complexities. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help you understand thoughts and find practical coping strategies. Psychological assessments are also offered for deeper insights into specific needs. My versatile approach helps individuals and families find clear ways forward for improved well-being.

Approach

Proficiency in CBT and ABA shapes how I structure sessions—practical, focused steps that help you test thoughts and build new routines. In Karachi or online, in English or Urdu, meetings move at a collaborative pace: brief skill practice, gentle exposure or behavioural experiments, and clear take-home tasks to try between appointments. I integrate assessment findings to personalise goals, track progress with simple measures, and revise plans when needed. This approach suits people seeking measurable change for anxiety, OCD, mood, addiction or developmental concerns within family contexts.
