Faiza Malik

Faiza Malik is a counsellor who uses attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working to help people feel steadier in their relationships and daily life. She draws on a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques to help people manage anxiety, stress, grief, addictive behaviours, and issues with self‑esteem. Faiza works in English, Punjabi and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom.

She has worked in the field for 27 years and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her formal credential. Her background includes long experience supporting people with relationship concerns, eating and body image difficulties, and mood problems such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also supports people facing career pressures, caregiving strain and chronic health challenges.

In sessions she emphasises a non‑judgemental, collaborative approach. She blends attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening with cognitive techniques and hypnotherapy tools. That combination is used to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build small practical changes into day-to-day life.

Faiza often works with people coping with loss, trauma and intimacy-related concerns, and with those who want help around control issues, codependency or communication problems. She also addresses addiction and anger in ways that aim for realistic, steady progress.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach often focus on noticing patterns in how people relate and practising new ways of responding in relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own direction, which can be useful for building confidence and working through life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems and some eating or addictive behaviours to create step-by-step change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Faiza works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will talk through options and adapt techniques as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and manageable.

If you are considering online sessions, check which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit counselling into busy lives, whether they need shorter check-ins, something that avoids travel time, or a way to keep continuity while away. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of remote approaches, and Faiza will discuss practical arrangements when you begin.
