Can You See a Psychologist on Weekends in Pakistan?

Many people in Pakistan put off therapy for one simple reason: their weekdays are full. Work, university, school runs and family commitments leave little room for an appointment between Monday and Friday. So it is a common question: do psychologists work on weekends, and can you see one on a Saturday or Sunday?

The short answer is yes, some do. Availability varies from one psychologist to another, so it helps to know what to ask for.

Do psychologists work on weekends in Pakistan?

Most private psychologists set their own days, and many practise only on weekdays. Some, however, keep Saturdays or Sundays for clients who cannot come during the week. At The Meeting Matters, several of our clinical psychologists see clients on Saturdays and Sundays, online and by appointment at our F-11/1 clinic in Islamabad. You can see who is available on our page for a psychologist open on weekends in Islamabad.

Who weekend therapy suits

• Working professionals who cannot leave the office during the week.
• University students whose classes fill the weekdays.
• Parents who need childcare cover or a quiet slot on the weekend.
• Couples who both work and want to attend the same session.
• People living abroad, for whom weekends are often the easiest time to fit a session around work.

Online or in person?

Online sessions by secure video are the easiest way to book a weekend slot, because there is no travel, and you can attend from anywhere in Pakistan or abroad. If you prefer to come in person, ask for an appointment at the clinic and we will confirm what is available. Read more about weekend online therapy in Pakistan and abroad.
