About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a counsellor with 27 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu, and supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. Faiza also works with grief, addictions and issues around intimacy and sleeping.
Her approach blends several practical methods. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Faiza has long experience supporting people through major life changes, including bereavement, separation and career shifts. She pays attention to body image, eating and addiction issues, and to how family of origin patterns affect present relationships.
People meet straightforward aims such as reducing anxiety, improving sleep or rebuilding confidence. She incorporates hypnotherapy and other reframing tools when these fit a client’s goals. Sessions are presented as collaborative, with practical exercises and simple homework where useful.
Faiza aims to help people discover small changes that add up to steadier day-to-day coping. Many clients value her calm, non-judgemental manner and practical focus. If someone feels overwhelmed or stuck, Faiza offers a clear process for talking things through and working on achievable steps.

How Faiza's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions now. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, practise new ways of relating and set small changes to try between meetings. Client-centred therapy puts the person's concerns at the centre and uses reflective listening to help them explore what matters most; this fits well with talking-based online sessions and pacing that suits the individual. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical steps; it often uses structured tools and short exercises that can be given as simple tasks between sessions.Finding the right combination of these methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person's goals, preferences and everyday life. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so work feels relevant and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to access a therapist who speaks English, Punjabi or Urdu and to continue support across different locations.
