FAQ

No. You can book directly. If a psychiatrist or physician is already involved and you would like me to coordinate with them, I can, but only with your written permission.

Not from me. Confidentiality is the foundation of this work and it applies to your family as well. The only exceptions are the ones the law requires: a serious risk to your life or someone else’s, or a court order. If that ever came up, I would discuss it with you first wherever it is safe to do so.

Yes. Urdu, English, or moving between the two — whichever one your thoughts actually come in. Therapy works best in the language you feel in, not the one you were educated in.

For most concerns, yes, and the research supports that. What matters far more is that you have a private place to sit and a connection that holds. Online sessions suit people outside Lahore, women who cannot travel easily, and anyone who would rather not be seen walking into a clinic.

It depends on what you bring. A specific difficulty such as panic or a phobia often resolves in eight to fourteen sessions. Longstanding patterns take longer. We review progress openly rather than letting therapy drift on.

No. Clinical psychologists do not prescribe. If medication seems worth considering, I will explain why and refer you to a psychiatrist I trust. Many people do well with therapy alone; some do better with both.

Let me know at least twenty four hours ahead and the session is moved with no charge. Cancellations after that, or missed appointments, are charged in full, because the time is held for you.
