I am extremely satisfied with my psychologist and with the treatment I have received from Dr Hijab Bilgrami at Reach Psychiatry. I was suffering from anxiety and went for initial check-up at first. Hijab spent good time to listen to my concerns, and took the care to calm me down. Then she made me understand my problem and helped me overcome my anxiety. Her treatment therapy had an immediately noticeable improvement on my condition. She is very approachable and I know I can contact her outside my appointment times. I have had a vast improvement in my lifestyle and now able to handle my thoughts well and calmly resolve them.
Your service is really great Hijab. You really heard my concerns and made sure i followed what I had to do also we had a nice chat about the details of the process and how should i follow the steps and improvise, at the same time she really does know her profession, she is very professional and takes care of her patients extremely well, she even checked up on me, and was always there for any support. Kudos to you and your team.
You do have a great team, efficient yet interested in how I am. Couldn’t wish for better service and nicer people. Thank you so much.

When I went to meet Ms.Hijab, I was in an absolute mess. My mental health was clouded by lots of self-doubts and the stress of my day-to-day things was overpowering me. She helped me with CBT and rationalization of my anxiety, and let me tell you this I have come a long way.
To provide more context, I have been trying to see a therapist for some time, and none of them worked out for me. With Ms.Hijab, in our first session itself, I felt light, and with each consequent session, I started feeling better. She has a calm and friendly demeanor which helps you loosen up, and talk more freely about your mental health. More than this, she is very flexible when it comes to any last-minute changes, this allows the patient to feel more secure, such as myself.
I have seen a huge change in my overall persona, and the way I deal with anxiety, I can confidently say that I am a better version of myself compared to the one I was in March of this year.
To anyone reading this, I would advise you to be patient with yourself and give your mental health time. If your therapist is Ms.Hijab, you will be in a better place for sure.

Happy with: Doctor friendliness
I've known Dr.Hijab for about a good 5 years
And I've come a long way from being angry , frustrated and stubborn child to a very calm and social person she kinda helped me get over my dad's death also ,helped me get out whatever I was bottling up my pent up anger a lot of represed rage and sadness ,she's got me out of a dark place more like the darkest period in my life she kinda thought how to cope with certain situations and how to deal with my emotions and how to channel in in a very productive way. It took me a lot of time to find a good therapist but after going through 8 different therapists I found the right therapist which is her Dr the only one who could get me to open up she kinda felt like family to me because she's always been there for me, if I ever had to talk to someone Dr was always my first pick. All in all I would highly recommend people to go to Dr.Hijab because been a Hudge part of my life and I would personally say without her I don't know what I'd do or what kind f a person id be.

There’s been great progress in processing and dealing with my mental health battles because of how patient Dr. Hijab is with the treatment. She lets you set the pace that you’re comfortable with so that the sessions don’t impact you and put further pressure on your day. With an explanation for everything, therapy doesn’t end just at the clinic. She concentrates on preparing the individual for life after therapy, removing the negativity that can be so ingrained while dealing with such problems.
I’ve been to multiple therapists earlier but always found myself quitting because of how overwhelmed I felt by the end of the first few weeks due to bombardment of all possible activities initially itself.
This has worked well for me because Dr. Hijab has broken activities down into smaller chunks so that it becomes habitual eventually, without trying too hard and feeling bombarded with too many things.

I came in and i was diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety and depression. Right from the first visit, i was made to feel welcome and safe. I was prescribed with both medication and therapy, and I am very happy with my journey so far with the doctors. Dr.Hijab has been very kind, patient and open. I could share and express myself without reservation, and that itself is a big leap for a shy person like me. Regarding progress with respect to my diagnoses - the medication and therapy have helped me tremendously. Even though it is a longer term journey with progress, i can safely say that i am willing to trust and continue with the doctors in the process.

I sought help from various medical professionals before, but my experience with them made me lose hope. I came in to see Dr.Hijab and got diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar disorder. She made me feel safe and heard from the very first visit, she was patient and helped me understand what was going on with me, taught me ways to deal with my conditions in a healthy way, and helped me navigate through all the ups and downs. The treatments I receive are therapy and medication. It was a scary place to be in and coming out of it has been a long road. I’ve made tremendous progress since I started here and am on a much better path now.

My issue was general anxiety. And been suffering from 2 years. I came to Ms.hijab after seeing a few therapists already. But her approach showed me results really fast. What helped to start is she is a very keen listener and very approachable, helps to build trust fast. Secondly, and most importantly, she helped with a step by step 'instruction' of what to follow that makes it easier to implement and practice the solution. Thirdly, she helps figure the mistake fast and helps reinforce right practice. Feel glad to have found this opportunity.
Visited Ms. Smitha Jayanth (Psychologist) For Marriage/ Marital Counselling
I would recomend Doctor Smitha to anybody seeking couple / marriage related counseling, without a doubt. She professionally approaches a situation right from identifying the problem to giving a suitable solution
I initially felt uncomfortable approaching a psychologist...but she made me feel really welcome and at ease
She is humble, approachable and makes herself available whenever needed. She does not mince words and is clear about her opinion.
Her theraphy works wonders to stabilise a disturbed mind and provides a clear perception.
I couldn't have asked for more.
Thank you Dr Smitha -lots of love

Note: This doctor is no longer practicing at Reach Psychiatry And Counselling Centre
She has a friendly and open minded demeanor that creates an easy non judgmental environment to share. Helped me sort out not only the surface level issues but also dig deep and examine my thoughts and actions to understand myself and then move forward with that assessment in mind. Provided proper explanation for all procedures and helped make way for me to voice my concerns that we then accomodated for. Therapy also involved certain enaging games and little tests to do the necessary in a fun way. Generally didn't feel like a chore, if anything I usually looked forward to appointments. Quite a few tough to handle revelations were invovled but they were made easier to both find and plan a fix for with the help. All in all a very positive experience that made me feel fully supported in this journey.

I made an appointment with Dr. Hijab because I was facing problems concentrating and paying attention in classes at college, thinking that I may have ADHD. I had to complete a diagnostic test and she very clearly explained to me how the results of the test showed that I was showing symptoms of ADHD.
I went to multiple therapy sessions with Dr. Hijab where I learners how to deal with the problems I was facing and how to make life with ADHD easier. I was also prescribed medication to help me concentrate and also to reduce my anxiety.
I feel a lot better about myself after getting treated and a lot more positive when it comes to my mental health
