Culturally Informed Support
With a deep understanding of the unique experiences faced by individuals from places like Delhi, Bombay, and Kerala, our therapists create a respectful and inclusive space tailored to your needs. Offering online services in languages such as Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Malayalam, and Urdu, we ensure that you can speak comfortably and be truly understood.
Platforms and Accessibility
Online Counseling Sessions are available via Zoom, Skype, and WhatsApp. If you think you would benefit from seeing a psychologist, but know that you would struggle to fit a series of face-to-face sessions into your busy schedule, online counseling might be the best choice for you.
Benefits of Online Counseling
Your therapist can be accessible to you wherever in the world you live and work. Many clients report that they find it much easier to concentrate on the matters at hand when meeting online.
How Online Counselling Works
You message us on WhatsApp, we suggest a suitable counselor and agree a time. Sessions are by secure video from a private space on your phone, tablet or laptop. The first session is a conversation about what is happening and what you want to change.
What Online Counselling Helps With
Stress, anxiety, low mood, exam and career worries, relationship and marriage problems, family conflict, grief and life transitions. See counselor in Pakistan, student counselling and marriage counseling.
Is Online Counselling as Good as In Person?
For most common concerns, online counselling can work as well as in-person counselling, if you have privacy and a stable internet connection. For some concerns, such as severe crisis, in-person care may be advised, and we will tell you plainly.
Privacy and Practical Tips
Choose a room where you will not be overheard, use headphones if you share space, and test your connection beforehand. Everything you share is confidential, with legal exceptions where there is a serious risk of harm. Message us on WhatsApp with what you are dealing with and a time that suits you. We usually reply within about 30 minutes and will suggest a suitable therapist. We are not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital.

“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.”
