My Approach

As an integrative therapist, ​I treat every client as a unique individual and use a customized combination of therapeutic approaches to address their concerns.

I don't believe in labelling people based on their psychological health or in treating them with a static psychological model.

My techniques include:

  • Trauma-informed therapy
  • Psychosomatic therapy
  • Psychodynamic therapy
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS, Dr. Richard Schwartz) aware
  • Compassionate Inquiry (CI, Dr. Gabor Maté)

My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for each person's journey.

After working as a psychotherapist for a long time and having treated severely traumatized patients, I have become a strong believer in the strength and resilience of human beings and their ability to evolve and grow from adversity.

The word "trauma" is Greek for "wound" and psychological wounds require just as much attention, if not more, as physical injuries. 

Research proves that trauma has physical manifestations in our bodies such as aggravating existing medical conditions and creating muscle pains or digestive problems.

My work is unique because it goes beyond traditional talk therapies to address the somatic (physical) manifestations of psychological trauma.

"I had a profoundly positive experience with therapy, gaining invaluable insights into my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Through therapy, I developed self-awareness, learned to recognize and manage my anxiety, and cultivated a more compassionate relationship with myself.

The lessons and strategies I acquired during therapy have had a lasting impact, continuing to guide me long after our sessions ended.

As Fatima so aptly put it, the benefits of therapy simply stayed with me, facilitating ongoing growth and healing."

"Working with Fatima has truly been life-changing for me. Her compassion, understanding and guidance have made a profound impact on my mental and emotional well-being.

I always feel heard and supported during our sessions, and I’m so grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced and for the perspective she gives me. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a dedicated and caring therapist."

S.R.

"Fatima expertly communicated with me with kindness and helped understand my own emotions, pave paths for myself and my peace through reasonable means as much as a teen girl can in a Pakistani household.

Her professionalism is most admirable and she is dedicated to what she does and does it so without a hint of biases or judgment.

I will be forever grateful for my time with her since I wouldn't be who I am today if it were not for her and will recommend anyone, especially another young girl out there who might be looking to heal to seek Fatima's expert council."

F.N.

"Fatima has been instrumental in helping me uncover the light I had within me all along. Her guidance and support have been transformative, allowing me to see myself in a new, more empowering light. I’m grateful for the journey we’ve taken together."

S.Z.

“From our first session, my therapy with Fatima has been life changing. She was able to introduce me to hidden parts of myself. I understand why I do what I do and am much more in touch with body. I’m forever grateful for Fatima’s acute observations, her knowledge and her professional support.”

A.H.

"Working with Fatima has been a transformative experience for me.

Her ability to help me reorganize my thoughts and bring clarity to complex emotions has been nothing short of amazing.

She has a unique way of guiding me to see situations from a new perspective, which has allowed me to approach challenges with a more open and balanced mindset. Her compassionate and insightful approach has truly made a difference in my life.

I am deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking personal growth and mental well-being."

S.K.

"I had the privilege of receiving therapy from [Fatima] for 6 months, and it was a profoundly transformative experience. From the outset, [Fatima] provided a warm and welcoming space that encouraged open communication and personal growth.

Her approach is not only deeply empathetic but also highly professional, ensuring that each session was tailored to address my specific needs and concerns. The insights and tools she provided have been invaluable, helping me to navigate and overcome my challenges more effectively. I am immensely grateful for her support and would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking compassionate and effective psychological guidance."

A.H.

"I've been working with Fatima for a couple of years to address my complex PTSD, and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. Her support and expertise have guided me from a very dark place to becoming a well-adjusted adult.

Fatima’s approach has truly transformed my life, and I am deeply grateful for her help in my healing journey."

O.A.

"...She always made me feel comfortable in each session and that’s why I could be my most authentic self without receiving any judgement. I was suggested by many to opt for medication because of the discomfort I was experiencing mentally, but she was the one who believed in me that I could get better without medicines.

It’s been over a year, and I feel more alive and at peace thanks to her sessions. I was able to work on my healing and come out stronger than ever. I’m deeply grateful for all her help..."

S.K.

"I've had the privilege of working with Fatima as my therapist, and I can't recommend her enough. She is incredibly insightful and seems to always know exactly what I need, even when I'm unsure.

Her empathy and patience create a safe space where I feel truly heard and supported. Fatima has this unique ability to reach you on a deeper level, helping you understand and work through even the most challenging thoughts and emotions. She is truly a gifted psychotherapist who can get to the root of what's bothering you, offering deep insights that really ground and anchor you. Fatima doesn't just provide temporary relief—she gives you practical techniques that you can apply and replicate in your everyday life. Her support has been life-changing for me."

Self Discovery

Almost all of my clients are traumatized to varying degrees which disconnects them from the "Self".

Although they may be aware of their emotional state on a cognitive level, they struggle to feel their emotions, regulate their thoughts or notice the impact of their emotions on their body. 

My job is not to "fix" my clients but to help them see that they're either living in their painful past or with an anxiety related to the future.

My approach focuses on the mind and body simultaneously to create wholeness and healing.

I help my clients find safety within themselves, resolve their past and find their path to a fulfilling life.

FAQs

What should I expect in the first session?

Each initial session is personalized to you, as every client brings their own unique experiences, history, and perspective. Together, we'll explore the reasons that brought you to therapy, clarify your goals, and work to uncover the underlying causes of your challenges.

What languages do you speak?

I offer sessions in English, Urdu, Hindi and Farsi (Persian).

Do you prescribe medications?

I am not a psychiatrist and do not prescribe medication. While medication can be helpful in certain situations, I believe it should be considered only as a last resort. My approach focuses on addressing the root causes of mental health challenges without creating long-term reliance on medication.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes, I offer discounts for first sessions, subscriptions and multiple session bookings. For details on the latest discounts, please visit my discounts page.

How long are your sessions?

I offer individual therapy sessions in both 60-minute and 90-minute durations. Couples therapy sessions are 90 minutes long.

How many sessions do I need to take?

There is no set timeline for healing. Therapy does not offer quick fixes or provide a simple solution to your problems. Instead, it helps you uncover the root causes of your challenges and emotions through self-discovery. Each person has unique experiences and patterns, which heal and evolve in their own way.

By addressing the underlying causes of your difficulties, therapy helps you navigate current issues and better manage future challenges, supporting long-term growth and a more fulfilling life.

If you're unsure whether therapy is right for you, I recommend trying a single session to see if it feels helpful.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

I only offer online sessions.

Is confidentiality guaranteed?

Confidentiality is essential to our work together, and everything shared in sessions remains private, except in exceptional circumstances, such as when there is a serious intent to harm yourself or others (e.g., plans for suicide or violence). In some cases, I may seek supervision or consultation with other professionals, but your identity and personal details will never be shared.
