He is incredibly kind, friendly, and understanding, always calm and composed during sessions. He explains concepts clearly and asks smart, thought-provoking questions that encourage deep reflection. What I appreciated the most is that he guided me as a human being, not just as a patient, showing genuine care and compassion throughout. He creates a very open and non-judgmental space and even takes the time to educate the whole family.
I have been seeing Akram Sir for therapy over the past 4 months, though I have consulted other professionals over the last 3 years. In just 4 months, he helped me identify and diagnose my bipolar mood disorder, guided me through starting the right medication, and provided support that has genuinely improved my well-being. Please don’t hesitate to visit him and take care of yourself as you will be in safe, supportive hands.
Special mention to Rahul, whose warmth makes the experience more complete. He takes care of all appointments and bookings, ensuring you don’t forget your sessions.

I have been seeing Dr. Farooqui for nearly six months now, in order to address multiple issues. Throughout my sessions, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to help me understand and deal with my problems effectively. Dr. Farooqui is incredibly friendly and open-minded, creating a comfortable environment for open discussions. I didn’t feel the need to hide things from him and he encouraged me to open up without sounding or being judgemental.
One of the standout aspects of his approach is that he doesn't sugarcoat things. Instead, he explains them logically and clearly, which I found very helpful. Thanks to his guidance and techniques, my anxiety has significantly decreased, and I've been doing very well recently. Therapy doesn’t work in a week, it took me a few months to get where I am now so I would recommend giving therapy some time.
Along with this, his assistant , Mr Rahul is also very diligent. I dont have to worry about forgetting session dates and timings as he always keeps me updated!
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Farooqui to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate therapist. A big thankyouu to him for being kind and patient with me.

I was struggling with anxiety issues that were hampering my day-to-day activities.
Dr Farooqui is both objective and empathetic at the same time. His method is very clinical, yet one feels like they are talking to a friend or a family member.
His simple approach gave me crucial insights into my psyche, which further helped me to understand the issues I had been dealing with.
He is flexible in his approach and is a good listener. His disarming style allowed me to talk about issues I would have otherwise hesitated to discuss with other people.
He introduced me to various concepts and principles of psychology, which gave me new insights into my mind. His ability to explain complex things in simple words helped me to understand the problem I had been dealing with.
Mental health is an important issue that needs to be addressed without hesitation and embarrassment. It makes your life less of a struggle and helps you focus on things which matter.
After seeking treatment for six months, I've gained a lot of clarity about myself.
