About Pakistan Institute of Mind Sciences (PIMS)

Story of our Company

Pakistan Institute of Mind Sciences (PIMS ®) is a Pakistani training institute offering live, internationally-accredited certifications in Trauma-Informed CBT, DBT Skills, Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP Life Coaching and more. Founded by Ibrahim Siawash in 2017, PIMS is a project of Psycheversity (registered with SECP and FBR Pakistan).

All four courses are accredited by GIMP — Global Institute of Modern Psychology, Malaysia. PIMS combines evidence-based psychological frameworks with applied skills training, taught by a practicing counselling psychologist with 15+ years of clinical experience. Classes are delivered live over Zoom with lifetime access to recordings, allowing students from across Pakistan, the GCC, Malaysia, and the wider international community to train without leaving their existing practice.

Our position is plain: we teach therapy and coaching modalities for what they are — practical clinical and coaching tools, not magic. We make no overclaims about what any single modality can do, and we equip every graduate to verify local regulatory requirements before practicing in their own jurisdiction.

Ibrahim Siawash Counselling Psychologist · Trauma-Informed Therapist · Founder, PIMS (Pakistan Institute of Mind Sciences)

I’ve practised counselling and psychotherapy since 2011. My background is in counselling psychology and organisational psychology, and I’m a doctoral researcher in psychology at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), where my work centres on the psychology of wellbeing.

Alongside talk-based therapy, I’m a clinical hypnotherapist certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists (USA) and an NLP Master Practitioner certified by the American Board of NLP (USA). Most of the people I work with come in stuck on the same few things: trauma they haven’t processed, emotions that run the show, patterns they can see but can’t break. That’s the work.

In 2016 I founded PIMS to train the next layer of practitioners. PIMS runs live, small-cohort certification courses in Trauma-Informed CBT, DBT skills, clinical hypnotherapy, and NLP life coaching, accredited as professional skills certifications by GIMP Malaysia. Over a decade of clinical and training work sits behind every course I teach.

If you’re here for therapy, I see clients one to one, online. If you’re here to train, the next cohort is small by design and fills fast. Either way, you can reach me below.
