About the Doctor
Therapy that gives you something to use.
Dr. Hamza Tariq completed his MPhil in Clinical Psychology and has spent eight years working in clinical settings, including a mental health centre and an addiction counselling service. He specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy — a structured, goal-focused approach that helps people understand the link between their thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and then change it.
He believes therapy should leave you with practical tools, not just insight. Sessions are collaborative: you agree on goals together, work through them step by step, and measure progress as you go. Where medication may be helpful, he works directly with the clinic's consultant psychiatrists so that therapy and medical care move in step rather than separately.
- Structured, goal-based sessions rather than open-ended talking
- Practical exercises and techniques you can apply between visits
- Confidential setting, coordinated with the psychiatry team

Frequently asked questions
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental illness and prescribe medication. A clinical psychologist provides talk-based therapy and psychological assessment, and cannot prescribe. At Consultants Clinic both work together, so you can be seen by either — or by both — depending on what you need.
It varies with the concern and how you respond. Structured CBT programmes are usually planned over 8 – 12 weekly sessions, with progress reviewed as you go. Some patients need only a few sessions; others benefit from longer support, and that is decided together rather than in advance.
Yes. Sessions take place in private rooms and your notes are kept strictly confidential. Nothing is shared with family, employers or anyone else without your written consent — except where the law requires action to keep you or others safe.
