When I founded my global mental health organisation, Youtopia, I was on the search for a trustworthy and committed mental health clinic in Pakistan. After talking to various well-established clinics throughout Pakistan, I quickly realized that Pehchaan Clinic stood out. With experienced individuals working for the sole purpose of improving the mental wellbeing of their patients and the Pakistani society with honest hard work. Till this date, Pehchaan Clinics is helping Youtopia in de-stigmatizing mental illnesses throughout the world through various educational campaigns. I would like to thank team Pehchaan for their commitment and services to Youtopia, their patients and the whole of Pakistan. Youtopia wishes Pehchaan prosperity for their future.”

I have ocd I mean its partially there now. When I started taking session I was not in a good situation mentally and physically but now I feel really good. Dr tahira is one of the most humble and sweet person who helped me get out of that situation really fast. I am now so better, feel so good and my OCD is also all most gone. So the overall experience was great and I highly recommend it.

Maam Tahira is a very professional and very capable psychologist. She helped me through a difficult time in my life, when I was very anxious and depressed due to many changes that happened in my life. By talking to me, she correctly recognized my stressors and assessed my psychological condition. By hearing her observations and by following her advice, I learned a lot about myself, and I am much happier and psychologically more resilient than I have ever been at any point in my life. I will gladly recommend her services to anyone.

“These therapy sessions were strongly impactful on my mental and emotional well being. The burdens I considered mine to carry alone were shared and resolved in a space of trust, respect and understanding. I will forever be grateful for all your help.”

I want to share my gratitude for Mrs. Tahira Javaid, who helped me to recover from panic attacks . She is a professional who took extra care of my privacy but helped me to accept my own flaws. We are blessed to have such a professional therspist/ psychologist in our town.

I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Mam Tahira. She is the most considerate and patient person I could imagine. The opposition against black and white thinking and labeling was a completely different aspect for me. It made for a most welcoming atmosphere in her sessions and gradually led to an inner reconciliation with my anxiety and relationship issues. Her practical suggestions are extremely helpful and played an important role in my day to day anxiety management.

When I came to Rawalpindi I was so worried and tense if am gonna be OK or not because I was like this since ages but when I came to you I started feeling alright slowly and gradually. but sometime suddenly i started feeling depressed and worried asif I am gonna be ok or not. These things was coming in my mind because I came all the way from Gilgit to here. But I start taking sessions with Dr Tahira she was big help. Whatever the task Doctor gave I used to follow the instructions and did all the tasks. And now I’m really happy and also thinking about my future and family. I personally will recommend anyone who will be having depression issues. Thank you

I struggled with social anxiety, shyness and low self-esteem for many years. So I consulted with mam Tahira and I practiced imaging techniques which were very effective in my case. Alhumdulilah now I am feeling better and able to do my daily routine work. My life has been changed from my perspective.

I have been able to come over my fears. I have developed a proper routine as she guided me including my diet & life routine.

Today, I want to share a personal story of my healing journey, a journey that has transformed my life in unimaginable ways. Over the past few years, I faced immense pain due to deteriorating health and the loss of one of my closest relationships. It felt like I was trapped in a never-ending darkness, struggling to find my way out. During these challenging times, a dear friend of mine recommended that I reach out to Dr. Tahira. At first, the name “Pehchan” sounded unfamiliar and strange to me, but I trusted my friend’s advice and decided to give it a try. I booked an appointment and began my sessions with Dr. Tahira. From the very first call, a glimmer of hope started to flicker within my heart. Dr. Tahira entered my life, holding a light in her hand, and guided me through the darkness. She possesses a deep understanding of her field, and every conversation with her made me realize why they named it “Pehchan” (meaning ‘identity’ or ‘recognition’). Through her expertise, she helped me discover the true worth of life as a precious gift from Allah Pak.
12
Dr. Tahira taught me how to recognize the toxic people in our lives and provided strategies to handle them. She helped me appreciate the blessings bestowed upon me by the Almighty, and painstakingly chiseled away the stones of hatred and negativity that had engulfed me due to the influence of those around me. Alhumdulillah, I can confidently say that I am now in a much better place. I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude and prayers to Dr. Tahira and her exceptional skills. Her dedication to her work has made a profound impact on my life, and I will forever cherish the guidance she has provided me.
13
I express my desire to be a part of this organization, “Pehchan,” in any capacity possible. Being involved with such a noble cause would be my way of giving back and contributing to the betterment of others’ lives. Together, we can make a difference and create a ripple effect of positive change, for it is through acts of kindness and compassion that we leave behind a lasting legacy. May Allah Pak bless you all abundantly.

Aslamoalikum I am mother of Ibrahim Mubashir, Ma’am Tahira (pehchan clinic) assessed my child from six months ago and suggested behavioural therapy for him. Asper suggestion I started it & In six months, I have noticed a huge difference in myson’scognitive and concertation developmental progress, as well in the group session. Heenhanced his social interaction skills for which I would like to give the credit to her behaviour therapist Ms Ifrah.
15
Assalmolikum everyone …. I am very thankful to Pehchan clinic as my son aged 3 yrs had delayed speech and behaviour issues . I got appointment with Miss Tahira Psychologist and I started speech therapies and behaviour therapies as he was hyperactive too … Miss Bushra khanum speech therapist did great job and my son started his speech after few sessions . And the great work done by Miss Ifrah behaviour therapist that he is now very calm and organized child. He is very disciplend now MashaAllah.. and miss Ifrah is my most recommended behaviour therapist as by the will of Allah she changed my son into very calm and organized child with sole and group sessions taken by her.
16
Pehchaan Clinic is one of the best clinic. I have very good experience for my child’s behaviour and speech therapy especially Maam Ifrah very nice and very professional for behaviour therapy. I have seen excellent changes in my child. I am highly satisfied and recommend it to any parent whose child needs behaviour or speech therapy.

When I first brought my child to this clinic, it was a real struggle even trying to get her inside the clinic and make her sit through the 30-45 mins of assessment and i needed help from 2 other family members to make it possible, it was impossible to take her to markets without any added help because of the hyperactivity and unpredictability of behaviour, she could converse in english only, that too stating her needs and no 2 ways conversation, her sitting span was remarkably low for her age. I couldn’t even think about getting her admitted to school at that time due to her needs
She was initially started on behavioral and speech therapy by Miss Ifrah and Miss Zainab. Gradually, over a period of 1-2 months, it started becoming easier to make her sit for the whole session in one go without making any efforts, she started communicating better and initiated and carry on 2 way interaction while talking to someone. She started getting increasingly social and made friends. Her aggression and unpredictability settled. Focus improved. Her activities started becoming goal directed. Then her assessment was done by academic therapist (meanwhile she was admitted to a mainstream school as well),with the continuous help and support by Miss Samiya, she has been doing really above expectation in her school and is said to be one of the brighter students of her class, alhamdulillah and she continues to grow and amaze people around her by her progress. It took a few months to see any noticeable improvement but after that things started getting better at an amazing pace alhamdulillah. With every day that goes by, I continue to strengthen my hope that one day, by the will of Allah, she will be considered normal enough to be included in the society (almost, if not completely), as a neurotypical person.

Their individualized approach has been instrumental in helping my child overcome challenges and reach significant milestones.

I had the experience of psychological treatment through counseling with Ms. Tahira Javaid at Pachan Clinic for three months. I can confidently say that she has made a profound impact on my life. When I walked into her clinic, i was mentally so disturbed that i could not even explain my issues, but in three months, I bounced back to my normal state of mind. Ms. Tahira is an incredibly compassionate and attentive professional. She has a unique ability to listen deeply and offer insightful, actionable advice that is both empathetic and solution-focused. What I appreciated most was her non-judgmental approach, creating a safe space where I felt heard and understood. Her expertise in cognitive-behavioral therapy really helped me develop effective strategies to manage my problems and make meaningful progress. I would highly recommend Ms. Tahira Javaid to anyone seeking a skilled and caring psychologist who truly makes a difference in her patients’ lives.

Iqra has been vital in Haider's progress over the last few months. Not only has his speech improved but his behavior has also seen a marked improvement; especially in the areas of increased focus, greater attention span, instruction following/compliance, waiting, and turn-taking. From wanting to always do his bidding to sitting down and following instructions as well as completing tasks for 45 – 90 min long sessions; his transition has been nothing short of miraculous. This is reflective of Iqras ability to build a very strong rapport with her subjects. She is firm and clear; unrelenting and focused. She has a distinctive ability to connect with the child and make him listen, learn, and respond. She is ready and willing to share verbal and written feedback after every session which is helpful in our interactions with Haider at home. Haider has achieved many tangible milestones under her capable tutelage and I will always be grateful for her role in Haider's development.
