02Why people come to us

The pressure nobody around you takes seriously. The degree you chose before anyone asked what you wanted. The family that loves you and still does not understand.

You have been carrying this quietly for a while.

03What we offer

Counselling and therapy that starts with you.

Everything below is delivered online, wherever you are in Pakistan. Therapy and counselling sessions are run by licensed psychologists. Career counselling and educational consultancy are handled by our career counselling team.

Most requested

Career counselling

Most people in Pakistan chose their field before anyone asked what they actually wanted. Career counselling is a structured process built around a personality assessment and sessions exploring your strengths and interests, so you end up with a direction that fits the person you are. If studying abroad is part of that plan, educational consultancy picks up from there.

With our career counselling team

For students and parents

Academic counselling

Six hours of school. Three hours of tuition. Then more studying at home. Academic counselling gives students direction and gives parents perspective, because the pressure has never belonged to only one of them.

With our career counselling team

Evidence based

Psychotherapy

Life does not always break you at once. Sometimes it wears you down slowly, until one day you do not recognise yourself. Our psychotherapy sessions work with anxiety, depression, burnout and unresolved pain at the root rather than at the surface.

Couples and families

Relationship counselling

Every relationship, with a partner, a parent, a sibling, reflects something about how you learned to connect. We help you navigate conflict, set boundaries and rebuild trust without losing yourself in the process.

The step after career counselling

Educational consultancy

Once you know the field, educational consultancy answers where to study it and how to get in. We work with both undergraduate and postgraduate applicants, anywhere in the world that genuinely offers you a better opportunity. What that involves:

  • Shortlisting countries and universities around your field
  • Application timelines, deadlines and intake planning
  • The portals and platforms you will be applying through
  • Personal statement guidance, structure and feedback
  • Interview preparation before you sit them
  • Entry requirements and what your profile needs

You submit the applications yourself, which is deliberate. It keeps the process in your hands and keeps the cost down. Priced as a package and quoted case by case, since it depends on how many applications you are making.

With our educational consultancy team

Every session is one hour, fully online and completely confidential. Career counselling is usually completed within five to eight sessions on average, though this varies depending on where you are starting from.

04How we are different

We do not have a country to sell you.

Most educational consultancies in Pakistan work with partner institutions. So the advice bends toward wherever you can get in, and the field becomes whatever that country happens to accept.

We have seen where that ends. A student who wanted psychology is told psychology is not on offer, applies for something else entirely, and gets abroad having lost the exact thing they were leaving for. Getting out of the country was never supposed to be the whole plan.

Serenified has no agency ties, no partner universities and no commission arrangements. Nobody pays us to recommend them. That is why career counselling comes first and educational consultancy second: decide the field honestly, then find the place that fits it. It is also why we think this is the right way to do educational consultancy in Pakistan, even though it is the harder way to run it.

05Pricing

Honest, and within reach.

Cost should not be the thing standing between you and support. One rate across career counselling, academic counselling, psychotherapy and relationship counselling. No consultation fees, no hidden extras.

Educational consultancy is priced separately, as a package. Details below.

06Why Serenified exists

Born from lived experience, not a textbook.

Serenified was not built in a boardroom. I spent four years quietly fighting depression before I finally asked for help, and that decision changed the direction of my life. What struck me afterwards was not how hard therapy was. It was how long I waited, and how normal that waiting felt to everyone around me.

Nobody in my life had ever said the words out loud. There was no moment where someone sat me down and told me this was a thing people got help for. So I did what most people here do. I assumed it would pass, then assumed I was weak for it not passing, and lost years to that assumption.

In Pakistan, that is the default rather than the exception. Not because help does not exist, but because nobody around us ever made asking for it feel like a reasonable thing to do. We are taught to push through, to keep it in the family, to be grateful it is not worse.

Serenified exists to make that first step smaller. Our licensed psychologists work with people navigating anxiety, depression and burnout, and with couples and families trying to communicate better. Alongside them, our career counselling and educational consultancy team works with students and parents caught in academic pressure, and with anyone who does not know what direction their life is supposed to take next.

The consultancy side came later, and it came from watching the same thing happen repeatedly. Students being routed toward whichever country would take them, the field quietly becoming an afterthought. If we are going to help someone leave, it should be toward something, not just away from something.

You do not need a crisis to justify booking. Whatever brought you here, you will be met without judgment.

07Questions

What people ask before booking

What is career counselling?

Career counselling is a structured process where a licensed psychologist helps you work out which career path fits you. It combines a personality assessment with sessions exploring your strengths, your interests and what you actually want, then builds a practical direction from there.

It is not the same as educational consultancy, though the two work together. Educational consultancy is about institutions: which university, which country, what your application needs. Career counselling is about you, and it comes first, because those questions only make sense once you know the field. We offer both.

How will career counselling actually help me?

Most people arrive knowing what they do not want and having no language for what they do. Career counselling gives you that language. By the end you have a clearer read on your own strengths and working style, a shortlist of directions worth exploring, and a practical sense of what to do next. If you are already in a field that does not fit, it helps you think through whether to adjust or move, rather than deciding out of panic.

What is psychotherapy, and how is it different from counselling?

Psychotherapy is structured, evidence based talk therapy with a licensed psychologist, usually working with something long standing: anxiety, depression, burnout, patterns you keep repeating. Counselling tends to be shorter and focused on a specific situation you are navigating right now. In practice the line is not rigid, and your psychologist will talk it through with you after the first session.

How long does the process take?

Career counselling is usually completed within five to eight sessions on average, including the personality assessment, though it can be shorter or longer depending on where you are starting from. Psychotherapy depends entirely on what you are working through, so nobody can honestly give you a number upfront. Your psychologist will be direct with you about what a realistic timeline looks like once they understand your situation.

How much does counselling cost in Pakistan?

At Serenified a one hour session is PKR 2,000, or PKR 1,800 if you book at least 24 hours in advance. A five session care package is PKR 8,500, which works out to PKR 1,700 a session. That rate is the same for career counselling, academic counselling, psychotherapy and relationship counselling. Resources and guides are included.

Where can I get career counselling in Pakistan?

Serenified is online only, which means you can book from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Peshawar or anywhere else with a connection, including outside Pakistan. There is no clinic to travel to and no waiting room. Sessions run over Google Meet or Zoom at a time that works around your schedule.

What is educational consultancy?

Educational consultancy is support with studying abroad. We help you shortlist countries and universities that suit your field, map out application timelines and deadlines, prepare your personal statement, and get ready for interviews. It covers both undergraduate and postgraduate applications.

You submit the applications yourself. We show you the portals, tell you what each one needs and when, and prepare the pieces that actually decide the outcome. That keeps the process in your hands and keeps what you pay down.

What is the difference between career counselling and educational consultancy?

Career counselling answers which field fits you. Educational consultancy answers where to study it and how to get in. They are two different questions and they belong in that order, because choosing a university before choosing a direction is exactly how students end up with a degree they never wanted. You can come straight to educational consultancy if you already know your field, but we would usually suggest at least a session of career counselling first.

Do you work with partner universities or take commissions?

No. Serenified has no agency ties, no partner institutions and no commission arrangements anywhere. Nobody pays us to recommend them. That matters more than it sounds, because it means the countries and universities we suggest are chosen around your field and your circumstances rather than around who we have a relationship with.

Do you help write personal statements?

Guidance is included as standard. That means structure, what to include, what to cut, and honest feedback on your drafts until it is genuinely ready. If you would rather it was written for you, that is available as an add on for an additional charge, and we will tell you the cost upfront.

How much does educational consultancy cost in Pakistan?

Unlike our counselling sessions, educational consultancy is packaged rather than charged by the hour, and quoted case by case. The work varies a lot depending on how many applications you are making, which countries, and how much support you want, so a fixed number on a website would be misleading. We discuss it openly on the intro call and you will know the full cost before anything is agreed.

What is the free intro call?

A 15 minute conversation on WhatsApp with me, not a therapy session. It is a chance to ask anything you want, describe roughly what is going on, and get matched with the right psychologist. There is no pressure to book anything afterwards.

Is this confidential?

Yes. What you say in a session stays between you and your psychologist. Nothing is shared with your family, your employer, your university or anyone else.

Is this for me if I have never tried therapy before?

Yes, and most of the people we work with are in exactly that position. You do not need a diagnosis or a crisis to justify talking to someone. Wanting to feel better, or wanting to understand where you are going, is enough.

How do I pay, and are sessions in English or Urdu?

Bank transfer, JazzCash or Easypaisa, with details shared once your session is confirmed. Sessions run in whichever language you are more comfortable in. Most people find they can say more in the language they think in.
