I was born and raised in Pakistan, where I completed my academic training, including a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology (2011–2015) and a professional Master of Science in Clinical Psychology (2015–2018). My professional qualifications and supervised clinical experience have since been formally recognised by the Psychological Society of Ireland as meeting the full standard for Chartered Clinical Psychologist, reflecting a high level of clinical competence within Irish professional frameworks.

I am also a full member of the Division of Clinical Psychology within the Psychological Society of Ireland, supporting my ongoing engagement with clinical standards, research, and best practice within the field.

I began my clinical career as an Educational Psychologist at Army Public School and College in Pakistan (2019–2021), where I provided direct counselling to students, supported families, and delivered staff training in psychological wellbeing and behaviour support. I then moved into a senior academic and leadership role as Psychology Department Coordinator at NUML University (2021–2023), where I combined clinical knowledge with teaching, training, and programme coordination.

Following this, I relocated to the Maldives, where my clinical practice expanded significantly into child and adolescent mental health and neurodevelopment. I worked as a Licensed Psychologist across a number of services, including Stemcenter (2023–2024) and Cymacare (2024–2026), delivering psychological assessments, therapy, and parent support for children, adolescents, and adults. During this time, I also continued my commitment to psychology education as a lecturer in higher education settings.

Across my clinical career, I have developed strong expertise in neurodevelopmental assessment. I have conducted over 40 formal autism assessments using structured tools including ADOS‑2, and have extensive experience working within multidisciplinary teams to support diagnostic clarity and intervention planning.

To support this work, I have completed specialist neurodevelopmental and ADOS‑2 clinical training, delivered by licensed clinical psychologists, and approved under PSI learning standards. These qualifications allow me to contribute to gold-standard autism assessments with reliability and clinical accuracy.

In addition to my PSI Chartered status, I hold multiple international professional registrations, including:

• Licensed Psychologist with the Maldives Allied Health Council (since 2023)
• International Affiliate of the American Psychological Association
• Life Member of the Pakistan Psychological Association

I have also completed further specialist training in autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and psychometric assessment through recognised international programmes, strengthening my ability to provide comprehensive and evidence-based assessment and intervention.

Now working with the multidisciplinary team at EPT Clinic in Ireland, I bring this breadth of international clinical and academic experience into a neurodiversity‑affirmative, evidence-based framework. My work focuses on delivering detailed, holistic neurodevelopmental assessments and supporting families to develop a clear, compassionate understanding of their child’s profile.

What matters most to me is helping families move from uncertainty to clarity, and from clarity to confident, practical next steps. I aim to create a space where each child and family feels understood, respected, and supported, and where their individual way of experiencing the world is recognised as both valid and meaningful.
