I am the Founder and CEO of Telepsychiatry Pakistan and a PhD Candidate at University of West Georgia. A Consultant Psychiatrist & Mental Health Coach, I provide services online. I have a Fellowship in Psychiatry from the College of Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan. I completed four years of post-graduate residency in psychiatry from the Institute of Psychiatry, Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi. My approach towards psychotherapy is a collaborative one wherein we co-work towards expanding consciousness-discovering meaning-developing habits, towards a better you. I believe in helping people grow; across suffering, ranging from mundane to down-right catastrophic, and across relationship intricacies. I help people actualize their professional destiny; achieve their intellectual, physical, social, spiritual, and esthetic potential.
I am also Director at ACACIA Education Foundation and have taught as visiting faculty in psychology to undergraduate and graduate students at various universities. I deliver motivational lectures in various institutions, from diverse platforms including television channels, on topics spanning across psychology and religion.
