Psychiatrist Consultation in Rawalpindi & Islamabad
Quick Answer
A psychiatrist consultation at InnerView is a confidential, unhurried assessment with a qualified consultant psychiatrist. No referral needed. In-person in Rawalpindi and online across Pakistan.
Coming to see a psychiatrist for the first time can feel daunting — but at InnerView, we try to make the process as straightforward and comfortable as possible. A psychiatrist consultation here is not a ten-minute appointment where you leave with a prescription and more questions than answers. It is a proper, unhurried conversation with an experienced specialist who genuinely wants to understand what is going on for you.
Dr. Nadeem Ahmed Bajwa is a Consultant Neuropsychiatrist with over 30 years of experience. He has seen patients with every kind of mental health difficulty — from mild anxiety to complex psychosis — and approaches every case with the same level of care and attention.
What a Consultation Covers
- Your current symptoms and how they are affecting daily life
- How long the difficulties have been present and what may have triggered them
- Sleep, appetite, mood, energy, and concentration
- Work, relationships, and social functioning
- Medical history and any previous mental health treatment
- Family history where relevant
- A clear diagnosis or working diagnosis by the end of the session
- A personalised treatment plan — medication, therapy, or both
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment lasts 45 to 60 minutes. There are no forms to fill in beforehand and no referral required — you book directly and come as you are. If you have previous medical records or a list of medications, you are welcome to bring them, but they are not essential.
The consultation is completely confidential. You can speak openly — nothing will be shared without your consent. By the end of the appointment you will understand what is happening, what we recommend, and why.
Do I Need a Referral?
No. At InnerView you can book a psychiatrist consultation directly — by phone, WhatsApp, or through our booking page. You do not need a letter from a GP or any other doctor.
In-Person and Online Appointments
We see patients in-person at our clinic in Bahria Town Phase 8, Rawalpindi. Online video consultations are also available for patients in Islamabad, Lahore, or anywhere in Pakistan who prefer to consult from home.
