Timing
Fitting a session around a full house
In Lahore the harder part is often not the working day but the home: a joint family, guests arriving unannounced, and very little privacy until late.
That is why sessions run in the evening, from 6pm to midnight Monday to Saturday, and from 11am on Sunday. Many people take their session from a parked car, a rooftop, or after the house has gone to sleep.
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 people book
What Lahore clients usually book
In-law and joint-family conflict
Tension with a mother-in-law, a husband caught in the middle, or no room of your own.
In-laws counselingMarriage and couple sessions
90 minutes, Rs. 3,000, together or with one partner attending alone.
Marriage counselingStudents and young adults
Exam pressure, career choices made by parents, and anxiety before results.
Counseling for studentsAnxiety and low mood
Worry that will not switch off, or a flatness that has stopped lifting.
Anxiety counselingIf in-person care is the better option
Lahore has psychiatry services at teaching hospitals such as Mayo Hospital and Services Hospital, and the Punjab Institute of Mental Health on Jail Road. If your situation needs medical assessment, medication or urgent attention, that is the right route, and this practice will say so rather than booking you in. In an emergency in Lahore, 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]
