Faiza Malik, BACP

Faiza Malik is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 27 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions and life changes. Faiza aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely and start finding clearer ways forward.

Her approach blends familiar talking therapies with methods that help shift unhelpful thinking and habitual responses. She uses client-centred work to listen and reflect, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle anxiety and low mood. Faiza also incorporates hypnotherapy when it suits a person's goals.

People turn to her for a wide range of concerns, including stress, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction and eating-related worries. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career strain and parenting stress. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, body image and communication problems within families of origin.

With many years in practice, Faiza combines practical tools and conversational exploration. Sessions typically aim to help people reframe difficult thoughts, build coping routines and strengthen relationships. She encourages small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life.

Faiza offers work in English, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule sessions.

Using therapeutic approaches in online work

Faiza draws on attachment-based ideas to help people spot patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape reactions today. This approach is useful when relationship patterns, abandonment worries or communication problems are a central concern.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful behaviours by testing and changing thinking habits.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches to prioritise based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt methods over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower-bandwidth options, depending on the formats offered.
