Zaofishan Qureshi’s approach as a psychotherapist is all about inclusivity and connectedness for everyone. The line “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers” from Tennessee Williams’ play has always resonated deeply with her.

Zaofishan has trained under Dr. Ramani Durvasula to help clients recover from Narcissistic Abuse. She’s trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy (Level 1) from the IFS Institute, USA. She’s also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from the Beck Institute in the USA. And is certified in Eidetic Psychotherapy for Trauma by Eidetic Solutions (Ireland).

Academically, she has a psychology background and holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and an MPhil focused on Marital Adjustment and Sexual Dysfunctions.

She works with all kinds of people, including the LGBTQIA+ and cis-het people. As a neurodivergence & trauma informed therapist, she facilitates people with trauma, gender identity, anxiety, depression, OCD, divorce/breakups, academic issues, belongingness, and sexual dysfunctions. She also works with cultural and legacy burdens in brown people, shame, chronic illness, end of life care and issues specific to women.

Outside her practice, Zaofishan is a theatre enthusiast and has formal training in writing theatre plays. She’s also an amateur visual artist who regularly shares her work on social media. She believes her creativity greatly influences her as a therapist.

Zaofishan has been a well-known consultant at the Forum for Dignity Initiatives, a non-profit supporting the rights of trans persons and cis women in Islamabad. She has engaged extensively with the Khwaja Sara community and has also worked with trans persons from more privileged backgrounds.

She has taught full-time at multiple universities, including Bahria University and Air University.

Zaofishan is a feminist who keeps herself updated with training programs like the Feminist Capacity Building Program by Sangat Network (Rozan NGO) and the Men & Masculinities Training by Rozan NGO.

She pioneered the mental health training program in Baluchistan and successfully ran the Professional Capacity Building Program in collaboration with Dr. Ghulam Rasool of the Baluchistan Institute of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences for psychiatry residents and fresh clinical psychology graduates. She provided supervision and training for the program at the institute.

Zaofishan continually works on improving herself and regularly receives therapy. She understands the struggles, the hope, and the hopelessness we all go through. If you’ve read this far, you might want to give therapy a shot.

Currently, Zaofishan is offering remote sessions only. She offers a brief, no-cost consultation before mutually deciding to start therapy.
