Sana is a PhD Scholar in Clinical Psychology with 4,000+ clinical hours — the largest hours figure on this roster after the founder's.

She is an EMDR therapist and a lifetime member of EMDR Pakistan. EMDR is a structured trauma therapy that works on how a memory is stored rather than on talking it through repeatedly. She is also a hypnotherapist, and describes herself as a complementary and healing therapist — her own phrase, kept as she wrote it.

Her stated specialisation is positive psychology, which is the study of what builds wellbeing rather than only what treats illness.

Alongside clinical work she is a clinical supervisor — the role under which other psychologists' casework is reviewed — and a university lecturer. Her credentials state two times gold medalist from two renowned universities; the universities are not named here, because her credentials do not name them. She is a lifetime member of the Pakistan Psychological Association.

Sessions are 50 minutes, in clinic in Karachi or online. Which clinic and which times are confirmed when you book — psychologists are matched on speciality and presenting needs, not on who happens to be free.

You can ask for Sana by name when you send your details, and we will tell you plainly whether there is a slot and who else fits if there is not. Booking at PHC starts as an enquiry rather than a confirmed appointment: we come back to you by phone or on WhatsApp with a psychologist, a time and a fee, and nothing is charged until you have agreed to all three.

Everything on this page is general information about a member of our clinical team. It is not a diagnosis, not treatment, and reading it does not create a clinician–client relationship.
