About me
Where mindset meets medicine
I still remember one of the moments that changed how I practise medicine. A woman came to see me, exhausted and tearful, saying, "I've done all the tests... but no one can tell me why I feel this way." Her results were all fine - but she wasn't. It struck me that sometimes, what truly needs healing isn't the body, it's what's happening beneath the surface - our emotions, thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves.
That realisation shaped everything that came after.
Over more than two decades as a GP, I've listened to thousands of patients. I've seen how stress, self-doubt, and emotional strain can show up in the body - through anxiety, exhaustion, burnout, or hormonal imbalance. I've learned that medicine can heal the body, but mindset sustains the healing. That's what led me to train as an NLP Master Coach, Hypnotherapist and Relationship Coach - to bridge both worlds and help people create lasting change that goes deeper than symptoms. Now, through my coaching practice, I help clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected - people who've often tried everything but still don't feel "themselves."
Our sessions are calm, reflective and deeply personal. Together, we uncover the emotions and patterns quietly shaping how you feel, think, and live - and begin gently rewiring them for lasting clarity and confidence.
My clients often describe this work as transformational - not just because it helps them move past what's holding them back, but because it brings them back to themselves. And in many ways, this phase of my work feels like a natural continuation of my medical career. Coaching allows me to integrate over twenty years of understanding how people think, feel and heal - combining medical insight with mindset tools to create truly impactful, whole-person transformation.
Because when mindset meets medicine, everything changes!

Client Feedback:
'I am a recent graduate from the University of Cambridge, and Dr. Asad supported me through what was an intensely challenging year. I'm very happy to say that I received my first-class degree, and these skills that I gained through our sessions definitely empowered me to do so! She taught me techniques to control stress at a subconscious level, which allow me to produce a higher quality of work and also protect my mental health. Thank you so much, Dr Asad. I will cherish our sessions for a long time to come!' - Anonymous (June 2026)
"I would like to provide some feedback regarding my experience with you as my NLP Master Coach. You are an exceptionally professional coach, with excellent time management and a very focused approach. The sessions I attended were calm, reflective, and deeply personal. In our one-on-one sessions, I really appreciated your professional demeanor and the utmost confidentiality you maintained. During a challenging period of anxiety as I was and still going through personal challenges , you truly understood my situation on a deep level and helped me work through my anxiety. A standout strength of yours is that you are also a medical GP, which added immense value. This medical background was a real bonus, allowing you to understand my challenges and support me both emotionally and physically. I wholeheartedly recommend you—100%—to anyone seeking a transformative coaching experience. Thank you so much!" ZA (June 2026)
