“Confidential assessment, clear guidance and a suitable next step.”
An online psychologist consultation is a confidential video appointment with a clinical psychologist. The first session reviews your symptoms, daily functioning, stressors, safety and goals, then recommends focused therapy, follow-up sessions or referral when another type of care is more appropriate.
Speak privately with Psy. Hijab Zehra, an MPhil-qualified clinical psychologist, through a secure video consultation. This general appointment is suitable when anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma or several concerns overlap and you are unsure where to begin.
Sessions may be available in English or Urdu for suitable non-emergency clients across Pakistan and abroad.
