The Meeting Matters offers comprehensive online therapy services to the Leeds community. Our practice is built on the foundation of empathy and professional excellence, led by Mr. Naushad Anjum.
Leeds is a diverse city, and we are proud to offer mental health support that respects and honors your cultural background. Our therapists are experienced in working with individuals from various cultural identities, particularly South Asians.
Our therapeutic toolkit includes CBT, Person-Centered Approach, and Mindfulness. We focus on developing self-awareness and providing practical tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and enhance overall well-being.
Session fees are set in Pakistani Rupees, which typically works out to a fraction of local Leeds therapy costs when paid in GBP โ without compromising on qualified psychologists who understand your cultural background firsthand.
Leeds has a long-established Pakistani community, in areas such as Beeston, Harehills and Chapeltown. Clients here often tell us they want a therapist who already understands family expectations, in-laws, faith and the pressure of living between two cultures, without a long wait. Our UK-facing service is led by Mr. Muhammad Naushad Anjum, registered with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Sessions are online, so there is no travelling across Leeds. We are based in Islamabad and do not have an office in Leeds.
Sessions can be in English, Urdu or Punjabi. Pakistan is 5 hours ahead of Leeds 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.

โI 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.โ

โHave noticed alot of changes within myself because of the sessions I've had. My therapist is extremely kind and helpful. I've never once felt uncomfortable feeling like I'm talking to a stranger. My Dr has made me feel as if she's my own and has helped me a lot.โ
