Therapy Modalities: Integrative psychotherapy, EFT,CBT

My Approach: I am working as an integrative psychotherapist with a deep understanding of psychodynamic theories, which allows me to explore unconscious processes and unresolved conflicts that may impact my clients’ lives. I use the enriching experience I gain from the uniqueness of each client for the creative work that takes place in the room.
I emphasize confidentiality and also integrate humanistic principles of safety and empathy which encourages clients to begin to explore their feelings and experiences openly. This facilitates meaningful self-discovery, growth, and change.

I am very passionate about what I do and I am on my journey to help others in their journeys. Recently I have opened a Holistic mental health care center as I believe we can’t look at the mind, body, and soul as separate but as integrated. I am open to using inter disciplinary referrals if I feel the client can benefit as no one modality is all-encompassing.

hina azfar

Hina Azfar

Couples and Family Therapist

I am a psychotherapist based in Lahore. Beginning my career as a corporate lawyer, my focus on personal development drew me to the mental health realm.

My work is integrative and relational with focus on issues within the context of marriage, couples, and family systems, including trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, hostile family relationships, challenging life transitions, family of origin issues, marital discord and couples conflict.

At the heart of the intricate art of navigation of relationships is the relationship with the self. Our perceptions, interactions and experiences in relationships are shaped by how we experience ourselves and our human frailty. In bringing insight to how this unconsciously manifests in couples and family dynamics and by building awareness around damaging patterns in relationships, I facilitate clients towards growth and meaningful change leading to more robust, fulfilling relationships. I remain informed by and respectful of the nuances of relationships within unique cultural contexts and inter generational influences.

Traumatic events – Loss, bereavement, parental separation/divorce, health and developmental problems. Attachment needs and disruption, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, shock, guilt, denial.

Therapy Modalities: Integrative-holistic play therapy, Psychodynamic – Relational therapy, Gestalt therapy

My Approach: I believe every person in the family has a unique contribution to make to the whole, and my purpose is to support parents and caregivers in appreciating their child’s strengths alongside understanding this uniqueness and diversity. I take the whole family approach with the view that children can not be seen or worked with in isolation – they are part of a system. Therefore, I work holistically, primarily with the child but, alongside the parents as well. Thus aiming to bring about a shift in the entire family system.

My work centers around an integrative-holistic approach to Play Therapy with a toolkit that includes expressive therapies such as:

Sand play
Arts and crafts
Music
Therapeutic stories
Clay work
Coupled with mind-body techniques such as:

Movement, and Relaxation through visualization and breathing.

My primary goal for my young clients is to facilitate their process, bearing witness to their therapeutic journey, and becoming an environment that makes space for them to play out all their feelings, give vent to their emotions, get messy, and in the unfolding discover different facets of themselves in a pressure free haven.

My intent is also to help bridge the parent child communication gap, with parents as the drivers of the relationship because no therapy is effective without the parents becoming partners. I, therefore, strive to create a judgment free space for parents aiming to equip them with the language and appreciation to understand their child on a deeper, personal level – rooted in developmental, sensory, emotional and cognitive awareness.

Whatever brings you to this therapeutic space, I offer you warmth, safety, confidentiality, and presence

I recognize the importance of thought and cognition, emotion, sensation, body posture and language, intuition, imagery, energetic presence, and a spiritual core in shaping an individual’s well-being. By incorporating these elements into my practice, I create a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their inner experiences and discover new perspectives, facilitating clients in understanding the intricate connections between their mind and body, helping them gain insight into their thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors. Central to my philosophy is the belief that every individual possesses the capacity for healing and growth.

Therapy Modalities:
Relational and Integrative, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Therapy, Humanistic

My Approach:
My passion and curiosity for human behavior led me to do a degree in Clinical Psychology. However, my inclination towards a more holistic approach in healing gravitated me to becoming a Psychotherapist. I am an Accredited Psychotherapist, Supervisor, and Tutor (CPCAB) based in Lahore. Apart from my private practice as a therapist, I have been a part of specialized training in Group therapy by Michael Soth, have served as a school Counselor in LGS, and run psychotherapy diplomas as well as several group therapies, conducted Workshops in Educational Institutions.

My practice is grounded in my firm belief of the transformative power of therapy.

“Past experiences and current ways of relating are hopelessly and inextricably entangled and thus healing begins by a deeper understanding of who we are and the most important relationship_ the one we have with ourselves”.

Emphasizing the importance of the relationship we have with ourselves, I believe that emotional and psychological wellness is achieved through a balance of action and acceptance. In my work with clients, I utilize various creative techniques to uncover and harness both inner and outer resources that may have been overlooked or forgotten. Together, we untangle patterns of distorted or limiting thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, empowering individuals to overcome anxiety and cultivate deeper connections with loved ones, career paths, and most importantly, themselves.

Qualifications:
Double Masters in Applied Educational Psychology and School Psychology, Northeastern University, USA.
Nationally Certified School Psychologist, NCSP.
Teaching License, Massachusetts, USA.

Certifications:
Registered Behaviour Technician

Client Demographics: Ages 2-21. Individual child, Parents, Family, & Group therapy. Proficient in English and Urdu.

Works with: Learning Disabilities, Academic Concerns, ADHD, Autism, Developmental Delays, Selective Mutism (young children refusing to speak in some/all situations), Social/Emotion Regulation, Behaviour Concerns, Mood Regulation, Self-Confidence, Self-Esteem, Social/General Anxiety, Depression, Aggression.

Specialisations:
• Support to educational institutions to incorporate mental health and social emotional learning practices within the system
• Parent support in regulating children’s social, emotional, and academic concerns.
• Family disturbance (death, grief, loss, divorce)
• Behavioural concerns
• Learning disabilities and IEP Plans

My approach: As an educational psychologist and behavior therapist, my therapeutic approach is diverse and comprehensive, catering to a wide range of clinical issues that children and adolescents may face in their school or home environment. As young children are developing cognitively, I believe in modifying my therapeutic approach based on the child’s need but I heavily rely on behavioral intervention techniques to teach them behavior we want them to learn and decrease behavior we want to discourage. Moreover, my dedication to fostering positive growth extends beyond direct sessions with the child, as I primarily provide parent consultation and home/school recommendations. This approach emphasizes the importance of involving parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process to empower them with the tools and knowledge to support their children in becoming their best selves. By incorporating parent consultation, I create a collaborative environment where families can actively participate in their child’s progress, leading to more holistic and sustainable outcomes in their development and emotional well-being.

I offer consultation summary and reports with comprehensive recommendations for home and school upon request.

Therapeutic Modalities: Integrative talk therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic and Breathwork, Trauma & Dissociation, Internal Parts Systems, Gestalt, Jungian Archetypes

My Approach: Hi there! Before I dive into my therapeutic approach, I’d like to share a little about myself. I am an ambivert adult with a big inner child; traveling, conversations, and coffee are some of my many habits and before being a full-time therapist, I enjoyed an eight year long career in the health and education sector. Professionally I am a writer, an entrepreneur, and a therapist. Personally, I am a believer of possibilities and in the power of human connection.

My therapeutic approach builds onto my belief that a safe and reflective environment nurtures emotional and psychosocial wellbeing. To achieve this, my foremost focus is to build a trustful and congruent therapeutic alliance with my client. In my work, no emotions are too small or too big and the goal is to understand what they’re communicating to us. And the body plays a big role in making sense of how we are doing and how we wish to be doing so for me, a regulated nervous system is when the work happens!

I employ Jungian archetypes and mindfulness techniques to harmonize the conscious behavior with unconscious patterns and emotions so that the two can be aligned with awareness for healing and self-discovery.

My approach is to form a connection with as many parts of ourselves as we can, so we can bring to light parts that we lost, parts that went silent, parts that had to hide, parts that were scared, or angry and so on.

Relational wounds
Communication skills

An insight into how past experiences influence behavior, reactions and triggers in the present with our spouses.

Sharing deeper emotional experiences to build stronger more fulfilling and secure relationships. My therapeutic framework is an integration of Object Relations and Attachment Theory combined with Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Qualifications:
MSc Applied Psychology

Certifications/Diplomas:
Advanced Diploma in Clinical Psychology

Undergoing training for Play Therapy and Trauma-Informed Approaches

Client Demographics:
Children, Adolescents, Young Adults

List of Issues I Work With:

  • Struggles related to neurodivergent conditions; ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, etc.
  • History of trauma; sexual abuse, domestic abuse, negligence
  • Identity struggles as a Queer individual
  • Emotional Disturbances due to Chronic Illnesses
  • Substance-Use Disorders, Mood Disorders, Sleep Disorders, and Anxiety Disorders.

Modality:
Client-Centered, Trauma-Aware, and Play Therapy 

My Approach:
As a neuro- and queer-affirming psychologist, I aim to create a safe space, through co-regulation and mindfulness, to pause, connect, and listen to our bodies in this fast-paced world. My work includes supporting both children and adults as they navigate their unique paths to healing, resilience, and self-expression. Confidentiality and anonymity are my utmost priorities as I understand the complexities and stigmas shaping the experiences of queer and neurodivergent individuals in South Asian communities.

Growing up, play was a safe space for me, a way to process complex emotions and make sense of the world. This deeply personal connection to play inspires my work with children, where I use tools like storytelling, art, board games, and role-playing to help them explore their feelings, and express themselves freely in a safe and inclusive environment.

As an Autistic and ADHD individual, I understand how important it is to approach therapy in a way that celebrates individuality and refrains from pathologizing differences. I’m mindful of sensory needs, communication styles, and flexibility, tailoring sessions to meet each person where they are. My practice is also grounded in queer-friendly principles, offering queer clients a non-judgmental space where they feel valued, understood, and celebrated for who they are.

My goal is to destigmatize neurodivergence and queerness making my clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they work toward self-discovery and healing, always with empathy, respect, and affirmation at the heart of our journey together.

Therapy Modality:
I am trained in humanistic and psychodynamic approaches & I make use of the method of Compassionate Inquiry with parts work. A special interest of mine also lays in depth psychology & the mythic dimensions of our ordinary lives.

Client Demographics: Clients within the age bracket of 20-45 years for individual psychotherapy sessions.

Works with: I work with relational issues, depressive symptoms, generalized & social anxiety, existential concerns, grief, social adjustment, need for psychospiritual expansion & self exploration.

My Approach:
My work as a psychotherapist involves honoring the space where the others humanity can unveil itself in its vulnerability. For me, the art of psychotherapy involves not only alleviating suffering but also promoting psychospiritual growth. I believe in helping client’s bring their unconscious to light & learn truthful and empowering ways of being in the world. I value directness in my work, but more so than that, I value the client’s sense of psychic safety in being with me.

I work with depressive symptoms, generalized and social anxiety, relational issues, ‘feeling stuck’, life transitions, creative blocks & existential concerns. I am especially drawn towards working with women & ethnic and queer minorities finding their way around navigating their personal & professional lives while oftentimes battling the confusing terrains of isolation, misunderstanding & cultural prejudice.

I make use of writing, art, stories, myths & sometimes something as simple as problem solving, as well.

– Mindfulness and breathwork facilitator

Men and women 20 and above

Issues I work with:
– Life transitions and identity shifts
– Depression and anxiety
– Limiting beliefs
– Nervous system dysregulation
– Women´s health
– Spiritual identity and connection
– Everyday stressors and coping mechanisms

My approach:
My approach is a unique blend of spirituality, mind-body practices, and neuroscience — designed to bring us home to ourselves.

I weave ancient wisdom with modern science to help clients uncover their unique gifts and reconnect with their innate capacity for stillness, wholeness, and self-trust. Modern research shows that we are all wired for spirituality — a deep sense of connection to ourselves and others — yet this connection is often clouded by looping thoughts and limiting beliefs.

I help clients understand the inner workings of their nervous system, their thought patterns, and their emotional landscapes.

Rooted in my background in psychology and spiritual psychotherapy, my sessions are deeply embodied, trauma-informed, and emotionally attuned.

Together, we explore not just how to calm the mind, but how to rewrite the internal narratives that keep us stuck — with curiosity, compassion, and truth.

Clients often leave sessions feeling grounded and clear, with a renewed sense of connection to themselves. There’s a lightness in the body, a quiet in the mind, and a deeper trust in their own wisdom.

This is not surface-level self-care. This is the deeper work of remembering who you are — so you can live, choose, and lead from that place.

Therapeutic Approach
As an eclectic and integrative therapist, my practice is grounded in evidence-based models and adapted thoughtfully to the lived realities of each client. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental, attuned, and collaborative space where individuals feel truly seen, heard, and safe to explore their psychological landscape.
 
My clinical lens blends structured interventions with client-centered flexibility, honoring both diagnostic complexity and individual agency. Working with diverse populations across ethnic and cultural backgrounds, I bring clinical depth, cultural humility, and a strong commitment to ethical, goal-oriented care. My approach is grounded in compassion, clarity, and a belief in the client’s capacity for meaningful and lasting growth.

Why Mental Health Is Important?

Understanding the importance of mental health involves recognising that each person’s journey is unique. Prioritizing mental well-being is not just about avoiding struggles; it’s a commitment to compassionately navigating life’s challenges. Psychotherapists strive to empower individuals, fostering resilience, self-awareness, and positive connections. Beyond symptom relief, the goal is to nurture personal growth and a sense of fulfillment. Taking care of your mental health is a deeply empathetic act—an investment in your well-being that acknowledges the intricacies of your experience and supports you in building a more meaningful life.
