Biography:
Born in Quadrangle (Now Iqbal Hostel) at GC in 1962, the same day as
my father Dr Muhammad Ajmal became the first head of the newly
created department of psychology. Graduated from GC and also did my
M.Sc in Psychology from GC with a gold medal and roll of honor. At
Government College Lahore I was actively involved in Dramatic Club
and Music Society.
During Doctorate study I went to Nicaragua for a year where I worked
with mentally retarded adults.
In 1999 I moved to Britain, where I obtained a statement of
equivalence and membership of clinical division of the British
Psychological Society. I worked as a clinical psychologist in the
National Health Service in UK until 2005 when I joined GCU as a
foreign faculty professor under HEC foreign faculty hiring program.
I taught for nearly two years in both the Clinical Psychology Unit
and the Psychology Department and since October 2007 have been
working exclusively at the Psychology Department.
