About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 27 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and addiction. Faiza also supports clients with eating concerns, sleeping difficulties, career strain and other life adjustments.
She focuses on practical, solution-orientated work that combines talking therapy with techniques such as hypnotherapy and reframing approaches. Sessions tend to include straightforward tools clients can use between meetings to manage overwhelming feelings. Faiza uses a mix of attachment-based ideas, cognitive work and client-centred listening to help people think differently about recurring problems.
Her background includes long experience with relationship issues and addiction, and she frequently helps people address family of origin problems, communication difficulties and emotional avoidance. Faiza pays attention to patterns such as codependency, abandonment concerns and avoidant personality tendencies when these come up in sessions.
Clients can expect practical steps that target day-to-day problems like sleeping, coping with grief, low self-esteem and motivation. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas for intimacy and relationship concerns and on CBT-style techniques for anxiety, mood and worry.
Sessions are conducted in English, Punjabi and Urdu, and Faiza works with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress and managing life after separation. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Faiza uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections. This helps with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and repeated interaction patterns that cause distress. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right method is part of the work. Faiza discusses goals and preferences with each client and decides together which approaches will help most. That collaborative step makes it easier to try techniques such as CBT skill-building or guided hypnotherapy in subsequent sessions.
Online work can fit into everyday life and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific options are set at the time of scheduling. Sessions can be arranged so they fit around work, caregiving and travel constraints, and the therapist will suggest practical ways to use breath exercises, short behavioural practices or brief check-ins between full sessions.
