Pakistani and Urdu-Speaking Psychologist in Glasgow: Online Therapy
If you live in Glasgow or elsewhere in Scotland and want a psychologist who understands Pakistani family life, language and faith, The Meeting Matters offers online therapy in English, Urdu or Punjabi, led by Mr. Muhammad Naushad Anjum, a psychologist registered with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
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.

Who You Will Work With
Mr. Muhammad Naushad Anjum founded The Meeting Matters in 2010. He is registered with the HCPC in the UK and in the UAE, holds an MPhil and an MSc in Psychology, and has been consultant psychologist to the employee assistance programmes of BBC, Optum and Workplace Options since 2012. His specialist areas are CBT, DBT, couple and marriage counselling, family counselling and trauma. You can read his full profile and background.
Why a Familiar Language and Culture Matter
Many Pakistanis find it easier to describe worry, shame or family conflict in Urdu or Punjabi than in English. Glasgow has a long-established Pakistani community, and many people there would still rather not explain their background to a stranger. Read why therapy in Urdu helps.
Online, Across Glasgow and Scotland
Sessions are by secure video from your own home, so you can have them from Glasgow, Edinburgh or elsewhere in Scotland without travelling. We are based in Islamabad and do not have an office in Glasgow; this is an online service. Mr. Anjum's HCPC registration is a UK register that covers practitioners across the UK.
What We Help With
Anxiety and low mood, stress and burnout, relationship and marriage problems, family expectations and in-law conflict, grief and loss, cultural identity, loneliness, and the strain of family living far away.
Marriage and Family Counselling
Couples and families can work with us online on conflict, trust and communication. Read about Muslim and Pakistani marriage counselling in the UK.
Time Zones, Fees and Booking
Pakistan is 5 hours ahead of Glasgow in winter and 4 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.

Subhan A. · Google Review
“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.”
