About Faiza

Faiza Malik is a counsellor who uses a blend of relational and practical approaches to help people regain balance. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction and low self-esteem. Faiza also supports those coping with grief, eating concerns, sleep problems and major life changes. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

With 27 years of experience, Faiza combines Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas with cognitive tools. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients understand patterns and try different ways of relating. Hypnotherapy and reframing techniques are used alongside talking therapy when appropriate.

Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Faiza helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. She supports people to rebuild confidence and make clearer choices in relationships, work and day-to-day life.

Faiza pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. She helps people track repeating patterns such as abandonment or codependency and work out manageable changes. The approach aims to be steady and collaborative rather than rushed.

People can expect an open, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters to them. Faiza encourages clients to set simple goals and to practise small changes. She offers sessions in English, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts international clients.

How Faiza's approaches translate to online therapy

Faiza works with Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries or repeating relationship patterns.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, offering a listening, accepting stance that helps people talk through difficult feelings and decide what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and can adjust the plan as work progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises, reframes and hypnotherapy techniques to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
