Psychologist and Therapist in Qatar: Online Therapy for Pakistanis in Doha and Beyond

Working in Doha, Al Wakrah, Al Khor or the Industrial Area can mean long shifts, years away from family and the pressure of sending money home. The Meeting Matters offers online therapy for Pakistanis and other residents of Qatar, 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) โ€” 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 Islamabad in 2010. He is registered in the UAE and with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), holds an MPhil and an MSc in Psychology, and specialises in CBT, DBT, couple and marriage counselling, family counselling and trauma. See his profile. If you want to start sooner, our client team can offer another psychologist.

Therapy and Counselling for Qatar Residents

People in Qatar come to us for anxiety and constant worry, low mood, stress and burnout, anger, grief and relationship difficulties. Sessions run by secure video, so you can speak from home or from a private space away from work. See our page on individual therapy.

Families and Marriages Split Across Two Countries

When a spouse works in Qatar and the family lives in Pakistan, even short phone calls can turn into arguments. Both partners can join the same video session, and we help couples talk about distance, trust, money and parenting. See our pages on marriage counselling and family therapy.

Pressures We Often Hear About in Qatar

Long shifts and little rest, uncertainty about contracts, financial pressure, loneliness, missing weddings, illnesses and funerals at home, and the strain of living apart from children. Many people have no one they can speak to openly.

Sessions That Fit Your Schedule

Qatar is 2 hours behind Pakistan. We offer evenings and weekends where available. Tell us your city, your shift pattern and your days off, and our team will suggest a time.

Rules for Clients in Qatar

Rules about practising across borders differ by country. Tell us where you live in Qatar 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 Qatar 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.

Subhan A. ยท Google Review

โ€œI 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€
