Treatment combines CBT, relaxation training, gradual exposure, and clinical hypnotherapy, supervised by Dr. Uzma Masroor, a consultant clinical psychologist with 28 years of experience.
You receive a written report, a feedback session, and a practical plan for what comes next.
Sessions run in person at G-8 Markaz and Bahria Enclave, or online, in English and Urdu.
What Anxiety Actually Feels Like
Your mind rehearses disasters that never happen, then quietly starts on new ones.
Chest tightness, racing heart, shortness of breath, and the doctor says your heart is fine.
You cancel plans, then feel worse about canceling than you would have felt going.
Sleep will not come at night, and the tiredness makes the worry louder the next day.
The what if loop never closes: job, health, family, money, repeat.
People have told you to relax so many times that the word itself makes you tense.
If several of these are yours, hear this clearly: you are not weak, and you are not alone. Anxiety is one of the most treatable problems we see in clinical practice. The catch is that it almost never improves by being ignored.
What Is an Autism Assessment?
An autism assessment is not a single test with a single score. It is a structured evaluation that looks at your child from several directions at once: how they developed from birth until now, how they communicate and connect with people, how they play, and how they respond to change and to their senses.
The psychologist combines your account as a parent, standardized autism specific tools, and careful observation of the child. The purpose is to answer three questions honestly: is this autism, is it something else such as a speech delay or hearing difficulty, or is it a combination, and what support does this particular child need.
Types of Anxiety We Treat
| Type | How it usually shows up |
|---|---|
| Generalized anxiety | A constant background hum of worry about many things at once, with tension, irritability, and tiredness |
| Panic attacks and panic disorder | Sudden waves of intense fear with a pounding heart, and then fear of the next attack begins to shrink your life |
| Social anxiety | Fear of being judged: meetings, gatherings, phone calls, eating in public, being watched while working |
| Phobias | Intense fear of specific things or situations, managed by avoiding more and more of normal life |
| Health anxiety | Every sensation feels like the start of a disease, and reassurance from tests lasts only a few days |
| Anxiety with low mood | Worry and sadness running together, each one feeding the other |
FACT
Modern anxiety therapy is structured and practical. You learn specific skills, practice them between sessions, and track what actually changes. It is closer to training than to endless talking, and you will know early whether it is working.
MYTH
Anxiety therapy means lying on a couch talking about your childhood for years.
How We Treat Anxiety at PRTS Clinic
There is no fixed package. Your plan is built after the first session, based on your pattern and severity, and adjusted as you progress.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
We identify the exact thought patterns feeding your anxiety, test them against reality, and retrain the automatic response. CBT is the most researched therapy for anxiety worldwide.
Gradual exposure work
For phobias, social anxiety, and panic avoidance: planned, step by step, always with your consent, so feared situations lose their power instead of growing in the dark.
Clinical hypnotherapy
For clients who respond well to it, structured hypnosis deepens relaxation and reinforces new responses. It is one of Dr. Uzma Masroor's core clinical specialties.
Relaxation and breathing training
Body first tools that calm the physical wave of panic, taught in session and practiced until they hold up under pressure.
Schema informed work
When old life patterns keep refueling the worry, we address the pattern, not just this month's symptoms.
Your First Session, Step by Step
You talk, we listen
What the anxiety looks like, when it started, what triggers it, and what you want back.
We measure it
Brief structured measures give a baseline, so progress is tracked, not guessed.
We agree on a plan
Which approach, what frequency, and what the first target is.
You leave with your first skill
Something usable the same evening, not just a follow up date.
Practice between sessions
Small assignments in real life, because that is where anxiety lives and where it is beaten.
Not Sure It Is Anxiety?
Sometimes the picture is mixed: worry plus low mood, focus problems, or physical symptoms that need checking. If the diagnosis itself is unclear, a structured psychological assessment in Islamabad can separate anxiety from other explanations before therapy begins, so the treatment aims at the right target.
And when worry runs together with persistent sadness, our depression therapy in Islamabad page explains how we treat both together.
What Progress Looks Like
Progress is different for every person, but clients typically describe the same milestones: sleep returns first, panic waves become shorter and lose their terror, avoided places get re entered one by one, and the worry voice turns down from a shout to background noise you can override.
The goal of therapy is not a life with zero anxiety. It is a life where anxiety stops making your decisions for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need therapy or can manage anxiety myself?
A useful rule: when anxiety starts interfering with sleep, work, or relationships, or you find yourself organizing life around avoiding certain places, people, or tasks, it is time. Coming early does not mean you are weak. It means the work is easier and shorter.
What type of therapy works best for anxiety?
Cognitive behavioral therapy has the strongest evidence base for most anxiety problems, and we often combine it with relaxation training, gradual exposure work, and clinical hypnotherapy where a client responds well to it. The best approach is the one matched to your specific pattern after a proper first assessment.
How many sessions will I need?
It genuinely varies with the type and severity of anxiety and how consistently skills are practiced between sessions. What we promise instead of a fixed number: a clear plan in the first session, review points along the way, and honest feedback about progress.
Do you treat panic attacks?
Yes. Panic disorder is one of our core specialties. Therapy combines body first tools that calm the physical wave with cognitive work that removes the fear of the next attack. If chest symptoms are new, we also recommend a medical checkup first, so both body and mind are properly covered.
Is online anxiety therapy available?
Yes. Sessions are available online for clients outside Islamabad or those who prefer therapy from home, and in person at both our G-8 Markaz and Bahria Enclave centers, in English and Urdu.
How much does anxiety therapy cost in Islamabad?
Sessions are Rs. 6,500 each at PRTS Clinic. To book an appointment at either center or online, call or message 0335-4170919 on WhatsApp.
