Therapy in Punjab
From Multan you can see a therapist online by video, in Urdu or English, without travelling. For psychiatric care in person, Nishtar Hospital’s psychiatry department runs outpatient and inpatient services on Nishtar Road. In an emergency, call Rescue 1122 or police 15.
Overview
Most families in Multan speak Saraiki at home. In the 2023 census, close to two in three people in Multan district gave Saraiki as their mother tongue, and Urdu and Punjabi were each spoken by about one in six.
The main public option for psychiatric care is the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioural Sciences at Nishtar Hospital, the teaching hospital of Nishtar Medical University. Its ward handles outpatients and inpatients, including people with drug addiction, and trains psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. That is where to go if you may need medication, admission or an urgent psychiatric assessment.
For regular talking therapy, online sessions can sit alongside that care or stand on their own. Safe Healing therapists meet adults 18 and over one-to-one on Google Meet, in Urdu or English, so you do not need to plan a trip to a clinic. The therapists shown on this page come from our live directory. If you are thinking about ending your life or feel unsafe, contact emergency services first.

Your rights
Mental Health Ordinance 2001, as adopted by the Punjab Mental Health (Amendment) Act 2014
After health became a provincial subject, Punjab took over the national Mental Health Ordinance 2001 through a 2014 Act, which also provides for a Punjab Mental Health Authority. The ordinance sets rules for voluntary and involuntary treatment, caps how long a person can be detained, lets patients appeal an involuntary admission, and includes protections for confidentiality and informed consent.

In January 2026 the Punjab Safe Cities Authority announced that callers to 15 dealing with stress, emotional distress or suicidal thoughts can press 7 to be put through to a psychologist. The announcement came from Lahore and did not say which cities it covers. In immediate danger, call 1122 or 15 straight away.
Safe Healing sessions are in Urdu or English. Therapists list the languages they speak on their profiles, so check the list on this page.
Punjab uses the Mental Health Ordinance 2001, which the province adopted and amended through the Punjab Mental Health (Amendment) Act 2014. It covers voluntary treatment, limits on detention, appeals, confidentiality and consent.
Not always. Therapy helps with talking through problems and learning skills. If you may need medication or hospital care, a psychiatrist, such as the team at Nishtar Hospital, is the right place to start.
Not yet. Every session on Safe Healing is an online video call, so you can still see an approved therapist from another city while you are in Multan.
