This is an online practice. There is no consulting address in Peshawar. Sessions are held by video call, audio call or WhatsApp text.
Timing
Privacy first
In Peshawar, as in many close-knit cities, the worry is often less about the problem and more about being seen walking into a clinic.
An online session needs only a phone and a closed door. Sessions run from 6pm to midnight Monday to Saturday, and from 11am on Sunday, and messages never mention what the appointment is for.
Practical details
- Individual sessions run 60 minutes, couple sessions 90.
- Audio only is a normal choice, and uses far less data.
- A WhatsApp text plan is an option when no private hour exists at all.
- Sessions run Monday to Saturday from 6pm to 12am and Sunday from 11am to 12am, Pakistan time. Messages are answered every day from 7am to 12am.

Peshawar has psychiatry services at teaching hospitals such as Lady Reading Hospital, Khyber Teaching Hospital and Hayatabad Medical Complex, as well as private psychiatrists. If medical assessment, medication or urgent attention is needed, that is the right route, and this practice will say so. In an emergency in Peshawar, call Rescue 1122.

What the research says
- Most people living with a mental health condition do not receive effective care. Only about one in three people with depression gets formal mental health care. [1]
- A 2018 systematic review comparing guided internet-based and face-to-face cognitive behavioural therapy found the two formats gave broadly equivalent results, while noting more research is still needed for some conditions. [2]
