About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 27 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, addictions and anger among other concerns. Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu and she accepts international clients.
Her approach combines familiar talking therapy with practical techniques. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at connection patterns, Client-Centred methods to listen and reflect, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Hypnotherapy and time-focused reframing are also part of the mix when they suit a client's goals.
In practice she encourages straightforward work on problems that get in the way of daily life. That might mean noticing triggers for snapping at loved ones, learning a different way to respond at work, or working through built-up resentment. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on skills they can use between meetings.
Faiza draws on many years of experience with addiction and relationship issues, and she describes an outcome-orientated style that includes Neuro Linguistic Programming reframes alongside other techniques. The sessions emphasise practical steps and building confidence to reframe thoughts and reactions.
Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Faiza uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connection patterns shape current relationships. That approach helps people understand repeated clashes and build different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy is part of her work too, offering reflective listening and space for the client to lead what they want to focus on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out new ways of thinking and responding in everyday situations.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals and preferences. Some people respond well to practical CBT skills, while others prefer exploration of relationship patterns or brief hypnotherapy techniques; choices are discussed together and adapted over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their concentration and comfort, such as using fewer visual elements or a simpler phone call when that helps.
