Muslim Counselling in Australia: Online Therapy and Marriage Counselling
Muslims and South Asians in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and across Australia often want a therapist or marriage counsellor who respects faith and understands family and cultural expectations. The Meeting Matters offers online therapy and marriage counselling for Australia, led by Mr. Muhammad Naushad Anjum, a psychologist registered with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and in the UAE, in English, Urdu or Punjabi.
Better Value, Without Compromising on Care
Session fees at The Meeting Matters are set in Pakistani Rupees (PKR 5,000–15,000, with a 20% student discount) — for clients paying in GBP, USD or CAD, that typically works out to a fraction of local therapy costs, without compromising on qualified, evidence-based psychologists who understand your cultural background firsthand.

Faith-Respecting, Professional Therapy
If your faith matters to you, tell us at the start. Counselling here is professional, evidence-based therapy that respects a Muslim's values and does not ask you to set faith aside. We do not issue religious rulings; for questions of fiqh, please consult a qualified scholar. Many people find it helpful to read is therapy allowed in Islam.
What We Help With
Anxiety and low mood, stress and burnout, relationship and marriage problems, family and in-law conflict, grief at a distance, cultural identity, international student stress, loneliness after a move, discrimination and Islamophobia-related stress, and parenting between two cultures.
Marriage Counselling
Both partners can join one video session, even from different places, or you can start alone. See Islamic and Muslim marriage counselling and South Asian couples therapy online.
Time Zones
Mr. Anjum is mostly available online, and our client team arranges bookings around his availability and your time zone. Tell us whether you are in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or elsewhere when you book, and we will confirm available times.
Booking and Fees
Fees are confirmed when you book. Book a session or message us on WhatsApp. We usually reply within about 30 minutes. Rules about who may provide therapy to people in a given country, state or province vary. We will tell you plainly what is appropriate for your location when you book, and this service does not replace local emergency or crisis care.
If You Need Urgent Help
We are not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 000. For crisis support call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

“I 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.”
