Rabiya Shabbir, Coordinator & Clinical Psychologist, Lahore, Pakistan
Introduction
Allow me to introduce myself, I am Rabiya Shabbir, Coordinator & Clinical Psychologist based in Lahore, Pakistan. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to the field of mental health in order to help individuals, couples, and families in overcoming psychological challenges, achieving emotional stability, and leading more satisfying lives. My practice also specializes in IMAHRKMI relationship and sexology services.
As a professional, I believe mental health is not optional—it is essential. In the present era, where anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relationship conflicts are becoming more prevalent, clinical psychology plays a vital role in helping people understand their inner struggles and developing resilience.
I have cultivated my career in the field of professional psychological services, both in person and through online sessions, to ensure that assistance extends to those who may not have direct access to mental health professionals. My practice demonstrates my passion for making therapy approachable, research-based, empirically supported, and effective for people of all ages and backgrounds.
My Professional Journey
From the inception, I knew I wanted to devote my life to helping others. My academic history in psychology provided me with the knowledge and training obligatory to assess, diagnose, and treat different mental health issues. But beyond academic realm, it was my collaboration and association with people—listening to their stories, understanding their pain, and guiding them toward recovery—that shaped my identity into the psychologist I am today.
In Lahore, I began providing psychological services to individuals who were struggling with personal, family, and social difficulties. With time, I enhanced my practice into the digital world, conducting online therapy sessions that allow me to connect with clients not only in Pakistan but also across the globe.
My Specialties
As a Clinical Psychologist, I deliver professional support in a wide range of areas, including:
Depression and Anxiety Disorders
Stress and Burnout Management
Trauma and PTSD
Relationship and Marital Counseling (including IMAHRKMI relationship and sexology services)
Child and Adolescent Psychology
Grief and Loss Counseling
Personality Development and Self-Esteem Issues
Anger and Emotional Regulation
I work with individuals from every sphere of life—students struggling with academic pressure, professionals facing workplace stress, homemakers dealing with loneliness, and couples navigating the complexities of marriage and relationships.
Online Sessions and How They Work
One of the foundations of my practice is online therapy. Through secure platforms, I offer one-on-one sessions, couples therapy, and family counseling. This approach has allowed me to reach clients across Pakistan and internationally, assuring that no one is left without access to professional care simply because of barriers or challenges.
Online sessions are structured with the same professional standards and client confidentiality as in-person therapy. Clients can expect:
A safe, compassionate and supportive environment.
Evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness approaches.
Stepwise guidance tailored to individual needs.
Follow-up plans to monitor progress.
My clients have found online therapy to be flexible, comfortable, and empowering, especially for those who cannot visit clinics in person.
