Psychologist and Therapist in Bahrain: Online Therapy in Urdu and English
Living in Manama, Muharraq, Riffa or Isa Town can mean long working hours, years of distance from family and the pressure of supporting relatives in Pakistan. The Meeting Matters offers online therapy for Pakistanis and other residents of Bahrain, led by Mr. Muhammad Naushad Anjum, a psychologist registered in the UAE and with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), with sessions in Urdu, English or Punjabi.
Better Value, Without Compromising on Care
Session fees at The Meeting Matters are set in Pakistani Rupees (with student rates available) — 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.

Therapy and Counselling in Bahrain
People in Bahrain come to us for anxiety, low mood, stress and burnout, anger, grief, sleep problems and relationship difficulties. Sessions run by secure video, so you can speak from home or from a private space after work. See our page on individual therapy.
Marriage and Family Counselling for Bahrain Residents
Whether you and your spouse both live in Bahrain or one of you is in Pakistan, we can work with you together over video. We help couples and families talk about distance, trust, money and parenting. See our pages on marriage counselling and family therapy.
Pressures We Often Hear About in Bahrain
Long hours, uncertainty about contracts, financial pressure, loneliness, and missing weddings, illnesses and funerals at home. Many people carry these quietly. Speaking to someone outside your circle can help.
Sessions That Fit Your Schedule
Bahrain is 2 hours behind Pakistan. We offer evenings and weekends where available. Tell us your area, your working hours and your days off, and we will suggest a time.
Rules for Clients in Bahrain
Rules about practising across borders differ by country. Tell us where you live in Bahrain when you book, and we will confirm plainly what we can and cannot offer. For the wider region, see our page on the UAE and Gulf.
Fees and Booking
Fees for clients in Bahrain are confirmed when you book. Book a session or message us on WhatsApp, and we usually reply within about 30 minutes.
If You Need Urgent Help
We are not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact the local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

“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.”
