Hello! I'm Haieqa.

Haieqa Zahid

"I am one of the best Licensed therapist in Pakistan, I provide expert mental health services rooted in clinical excellence. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University and a Bachelor’s from King Edward Medical University. With hands-on clinical experience and my current work at Taskeen Health Initiative, I specialize in evidence-based psychotherapy and counseling for those seeking a psychologist in Pakistan. Whether you're looking for online therapy or localized support, my goal is to provide a safe, professional space for your mental well-being."

"My style is conversational and easy-going, with sessions shaped around your needs, priorities, and pace. I focus on creating an environment where you feel comfortable leading the discussion and working on what feels most important to you. As Carl Rogers said, “When someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good.”

"I use evidence-based techniques, including CBT, to help clients develop practical coping strategies and improve their overall mental health. I work with anxiety disorders (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, OCD), mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, stress, burnout, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns, along with support in goal setting and personal growth."
