Pakistani and South Asian Communities in Brampton

Brampton and neighbouring Mississauga have large South Asian communities. Many clients tell us they want a therapist who already understands the pull between Pakistani family expectations and life abroad, without having to explain where they come from. Sessions are with Ms. Alya Riaz, a Certified Humanistic Integrative Therapist with over 15 years of experience, who works mostly with clients in the USA and Canada. We are based in Islamabad and do not have an office in Brampton; this is an online service.

Time Zones, Language and Booking

Sessions can be in English, Urdu or Punjabi. Pakistan is 10 hours ahead of Eastern Time in winter and 9 hours ahead in summer. Tell us the times that suit you and we will confirm an available slot. Fees are set in Pakistani Rupees. Book a session or message us on WhatsApp; we usually reply within about 30 minutes.

About Licensing

Rules about who may provide therapy to people in a given 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.

“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.”
