Ready to talk to someone?
Our clinic is at House 66, Street 73, F-11/1, reachable from the F and E sectors, Bahria Town, DHA Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Sessions are one to one, private and unhurried. Our main psychologist in Islamabad page lists the team and how to book, and our clinical psychologists assess and treat depression.
Depression is more than feeling sad. It can bring a low or empty mood that lasts for weeks, loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, tiredness, changes in sleep or appetite, trouble concentrating, guilt, irritability or a sense that nothing will improve. In men, it often shows up as anger or withdrawal rather than tears. If you want to understand your own symptoms first, read our depression symptoms guide or take the depression test. A test is not a diagnosis, but it can help you decide to talk to someone.
We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and related approaches. In practice that means working out which thoughts keep the low mood going, testing them against real life, and rebuilding routine and activity step by step, since depression makes even small tasks feel heavy. Your psychologist agrees goals with you, and reviews progress as you go. Our page on depression therapy explains this in more detail.
We are a psychology clinic. Our psychologists provide assessment and talking therapy, and they do not prescribe medication. For some people, a doctor or psychiatrist is also needed, for example when depression is severe or has not eased with therapy. If that applies to you, we will say so plainly, and we can work alongside your doctor so that your care fits together.
Depression can follow childbirth, school stress, loss, burnout or a long period of difficult circumstances. We offer support for postpartum depression, for teenagers through our teen counseling service, and for people dealing with grief, stress or relationship strain.
If you live in Lahore, Karachi or another city, or you cannot travel, you can have the same therapy by secure video. Our page on online psychologists in Pakistan explains how online sessions work.
If you are having thoughts of ending your life, or you feel unable to keep yourself safe, do not wait for an appointment. Contact someone you trust, go to the nearest hospital emergency department, or contact us straight away.

βI am truly grateful to Ms. Tasmiya Asghar and the team at Meeting Matters. I reached out during one of the most difficult periods of my life while dealing with grief and trying to be the best parent I could be for my children. Ms. Tasmiya's kindness, empathy, and guidance helped me navigate emotions that often felt overwhelming. She helped me understand my feelings, regain perspective, and think through practical ways of supporting my children and myself. I always felt respected, heard, and comfortable during our sessions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Tasmiya Asghar and Meeting Matters to anyone going through a challenging time and looking for professional support in a compassionate environment.β

βHave noticed alot of changes within myself because of the sessions I've had. My therapist is extremely kind and helpful. I've never once felt uncomfortable feeling like I'm talking to a stranger. My Dr has made me feel as if she's my own and has helped me a lot.β
