About Faiza
BACP. 27 years' experience. Faiza Malik works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, eating and body-image concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions and trauma-related problems. She also lists work around grief, intimacy issues, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career questions, bipolar mood issues and coping with life changes.
Faiza uses several approaches in her counselling practice. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the client's concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
The biography also notes experience with emotionally-focused ideas and hypnotherapy. Faiza says she combines traditional counselling techniques with reframing methods such as Neuro Linguistic Programming and Time Line Therapy to support change. She describes this as a solution-orientated way of helping people gain confidence in reframing thoughts for themselves.
Faiza aims to make sessions a place where people can talk openly without judgment. Her practice emphasizes practical steps alongside talking work. This can include behavioural experiments, thought work and guided imagery drawn from hypnotherapy.
She offers sessions in English, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Faiza works with attachment-based ideas and client-centred methods in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice recurring ways of reacting to others. Client-centred counselling focuses on the client's concerns and uses listening and reflection to help a person make sense of feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. CBT is practical and often involves simple exercises to test beliefs and change routines. These approaches suit a range of issues such as anxiety, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem, and they can be adapted to the way a person prefers to work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Sessions start by looking at goals, current problems and what methods feel most useful, and that plan can be adjusted over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use the same therapeutic methods online as they do in person, with practical tools and exercises suited to a remote setting.
