Summary

A Dedicated Clinical Psychologist with one year of hands-on experience in diverse settings, working with both adults and children. I have gained practical knowledge by handling cases ranging from general psychological concerns to specific mental health conditions. I am skilled in various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), ensuring a comprehensive approach to each client’s needs.


I have participated in several online workshops to further strengthen my understanding of applied psychology. I possess strong communication skills and the patience required to handle even the toughest situations with clients. My ability to connect with clients in English, Urdu, Siraiki, and Punjabi enhances the therapeutic relationship and supports effective treatment. What keeps me motivated is the opportunity to help individuals navigate through their traumas and guide them towards healing and recovery.
