About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 27 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation. Her practice also covers addiction and a wide range of relationship-related concerns including intimacy issues and codependency.
She uses a mix of approaches in sessions. Attachment-based ideas help look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and hypnotherapy where these fit a person's goals.
Sessions focus on practical, solution-orientated steps. Faiza describes using reframing techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming alongside Time Line Therapy and hypnotherapy to support people who feel overwhelmed. Conversations are aimed at helping people notice patterns, practise different ways of responding, and build confidence in everyday situations.
She often helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or living around another person's drinking or moods. Work can include exploring attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, family of origin issues, and recovery from domestic violence or addiction.
Faiza offers sessions in English, Punjabi and Urdu. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Faiza uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps when someone keeps prioritising others or struggles with trust and closeness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and people-pleasing habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Faiza discusses options with each person and adapts methods based on needs, goals and what feels comfortable. This is a collaborative process where methods are tried and adjusted together over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that avoid travel. Some people prefer phone or video for different reasons such as quieter surroundings or not needing to be on camera; check which formats she currently offers when you book.
