Do you work with children who have dyslexia?

Yes — dyslexia and other reading-related learning difficulties are among the most common concerns we support, combining practical reading strategies with attention to the confidence and frustration that often build up around school as a result.

Is this the same as tutoring?

No — educational remedial therapy addresses the emotional and attentional side of learning difficulties alongside academic strategies, rather than simply re-teaching curriculum content like a tutor would.

Does my child need a formal diagnosis to start?

No. Many children benefit from this support simply because they're struggling more than expected at school, even without a formal learning difficulty diagnosis.

Will you work with my child's school?

With your permission, we can liaise with schools when it's helpful for your child's progress — this is always discussed with you first.

How is this different from general child psychology?

It's closely related, but focuses specifically on attention, concentration and academic learning challenges, rather than broader emotional or behavioural concerns — many children benefit from both.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy can help if you're noticing persistent stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship conflict, grief, or emotional patterns that are getting in the way of daily life, work or relationships — you don't need to be in a crisis to benefit. A first session with one of our psychologists is simply a conversation to understand what you're dealing with, with no obligation to continue if it doesn't feel like the right fit.

How much does a session cost?

Session fees range from PKR 5,000 to PKR 15,000, depending on the therapist's experience and the type of appointment — individual, couples, or child therapy. Students receive a 20% discount with every therapist on our team, and fees are the same whether you attend in person at our Islamabad clinic or online.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes — all of our therapists offer confidential online sessions by secure video call, in addition to in-person appointments at our F-11/1 Islamabad clinic. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns, and are used by clients across Pakistan as well as the UK, USA, Canada, UAE and elsewhere.

What happens in the first session?

Your first session is a conversation, not an assessment or diagnosis. Your therapist asks about what's brought you in, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy, then talks through a realistic plan, including how often to meet and what approach might help. Sessions typically run 45-50 minutes, with no pressure to commit beyond that first conversation.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes. Everything you share in session is strictly confidential between you and your therapist, protected by professional ethical standards. The only exceptions, required by law, involve situations with a risk of serious harm to yourself or others — your therapist will always explain this clearly before you begin.

Can I choose a therapist?

Yes — you can browse our full team page and choose a specific therapist based on their specialisation, language or approach when booking. If you're not sure who's the right fit, you can also request guidance in the booking form or over WhatsApp, and our team will match you based on what you're dealing with.

Which languages are available?

Our therapists offer sessions in English, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi, so you can talk about what you're going through in whichever language feels most natural, without needing to translate your thoughts into a second language first.

Do you work with children and families?

Yes — we have therapists dedicated specifically to child psychology, teen counselling, family therapy and parent guidance. Sessions for children and teenagers are adapted to their age and developmental stage, and parents are involved in a way that respects the child's privacy.

How long does therapy usually take?

This varies by person and what you're working on — some clients see meaningful change within a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support over several months. Your therapist discusses a realistic timeline with you after understanding your situation, and you're always free to stop or adjust the pace.

Do I need a doctor's referral to book a session?

No referral is needed — you can book directly with any of our psychologists or therapists through our website, WhatsApp, or by phone, and typically receive a confirmation within 30 minutes.

Common Concerns We Help With

Parents reach out about children struggling to keep up with reading, writing or maths, signs of dyslexia or other specific learning difficulties, difficulty concentrating or staying focused in class, frustration or low confidence around schoolwork, and attention and concentration challenges that affect both learning and behaviour at home. Often academic struggles and emotional wellbeing are closely connected — a child who feels behind at school frequently develops anxiety or acts out as a result.

Our Approach

Educational remedial therapy combines individualized, child-centered learning strategies with attention to the emotional side of struggling academically. Rather than treating learning difficulties as purely academic, our approach builds attention, communication and social skills alongside practical study strategies — while equipping parents with home-based learning strategies to reinforce progress.

What to Expect

The first session focuses on understanding your child's specific learning challenges and how they show up both at school and at home. From there, your child's therapist builds an individualized plan, working directly with your child while giving you concrete strategies to reinforce learning at home.
