Maham Malik helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationships and life transitions. She aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. Her style is warm and respectful, and she makes space for conversations about culture and faith when that matters to the client.

She draws on several practical approaches to meet everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current bonds and communication. Trauma-focused work supports those processing painful or abusive experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Maham uses a client-centred stance so the person in front of her sets the pace.

Sessions focus on clear goals such as reducing panic, improving self-esteem, or repairing communication. Solution-focused techniques are used to build on strengths and create small, achievable steps forward. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Maham has four years of practice experience and works with people from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds. She is comfortable talking about how faith and identity can affect mental health. Sessions are offered in English and Maham accepts international clients.

Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are arranged to suit each person. The initial process is designed to help clients feel understood and to set goals that matter to them.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Maham uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and test the thoughts that fuel anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and problem focused, which can be useful for panic attacks, stress and changing unhelpful routines.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people who find themselves stuck in repeated conflicts or who struggle with trust and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maham will discuss goals and preferences and tailor the mix of methods to each person. The process is collaborative so clients can try different ways of working until something fits.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are close to in-person appointments and fit deeper, longer talks. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, quick check-ins or people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments and to keep momentum between sessions.
