Faiza Malik uses a client-centred and attachment-based way of working to help people feel steadier and more understood. She draws on many approaches and keeps sessions practical and focused. Faiza speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and works with people in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Faiza has 27 years of experience in counselling and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has supported people facing anxiety and depression, stress, grief and loss, and issues with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

Addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating-related worries and coping with major life changes are also areas she addresses. Her approach blends talking therapies with techniques such as hypnotherapy and cognitive strategies. She helps people recognise patterns linked to attachment and communication, then practises different ways to respond.

Sessions aim to build practical skills for managing emotions and improving relationships. Faiza also works with people dealing with chronic physical illness, caregiver stress, codependency and substance misuse. She offers support around parenting pressures, blended family matters, and problems rooted in family of origin experiences.

Work on body image, anger, career choices and navigating separation or divorce is available too. Clients can expect a calm and non-judgemental space to talk things through. Faiza focuses on helping people reframe unhelpful thinking and develop coping strategies they can use day to day.

She encourages collaborative goal setting so progress is measurable and relevant to each person.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, offering a non-judgemental space to be heard and understood; this approach fits well with video or phone sessions where open conversation is the main tool. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours; it often uses straightforward exercises and homework that transfer easily to online formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then jointly decide which methods to try first. That collaborative plan can be adjusted as work progresses so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for short updates, written reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and across different locations.
