# The Meeting Matters

> The Meeting Matters (Meeting Matters Clinic — Centre for Psychological & Training Services) is a psychology and mental health practice based in Islamabad, Pakistan, founded in 2010 by Muhammad Naushad Anjum. It offers evidence-based therapy, counselling and corporate training — in person at its Islamabad clinic and online worldwide, in English, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi — with particular expertise in relationship, couple and family counselling, and in supporting overseas Pakistanis.

Sessions range from PKR 5,000–15,000 per session, with a 20% discount for students. Online and in-person appointments are available; the practice accepts booking requests 24/7 and confirms within 24 hours. 8 of the practice's 9 psychologists are women, so a female psychologist is available for clients who prefer one.
