About Faiza
Faiza Malik uses client-centred and attachment-based approaches to help people feel steadier and more in control. She draws on 27 years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Faiza keeps sessions practical and calm, and aims to make therapy straightforward for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She supports people with stress, anxiety and depression, and helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Faiza also works with eating and addiction issues, grief, trauma and sleep difficulties.
Background and approach
Clients who are coping with life changes, career strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue or ADHD can bring those concerns to sessions. Her work blends talking therapy with techniques such as hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming reframes to focus on workable change. Cognitive behavioural elements are used when helpful to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on attachment and relationship patterns. Faiza aims to build a non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about feelings. She often helps clients spot patterns from earlier relationships and learn new ways of relating.
Practical tools and short homework tasks are used to help progress between sessions. Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu. Faiza accepts international clients and practises across a broad range of presenting concerns.
To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Faiza works online
She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. This creates space to explore feelings and find the goals a client wants to work towards.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Faiza will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. She adapts sessions over time based on what helps you make steady progress.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and travel. It can also be useful for shorter check-ins, or when people prefer not to travel to appointments. Registered and accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care through remote sessions when that suits a client’s routine.
