Timing
Families split between Sialkot and abroad
Many Sialkot families have a husband, son or brother working in Europe, the UK or the Gulf. Distance puts its own strain on a marriage and on the people left at home.
Online sessions work in both places. They run from 6pm to midnight Monday to Saturday, and from 11am on Sunday, Pakistan time, and a family member abroad can join the same session.
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.

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]
