About Faiza

Faiza Malik is a counsellor who uses attachment-based work and client-centred approaches to help people feel steadier in their relationships and day-to-day life. She draws on nearly three decades of experience in the United Kingdom and brings a calm, practical style to sessions. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood.

She also helps with relationship difficulties, eating and self-esteem concerns, addiction, grief and intimacy-related worries. Her practice includes work with ADHD, bipolar and long-term health challenges where coping skills are needed.

Background and approach

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change, with practical tools and reflective conversation. She often uses cognitive techniques alongside attachment ideas to help people notice and shift patterns that keep causing pain.

Faiza also offers hypnotherapy as part of her toolkit when it fits a person’s needs. That can help with motivation, sleep and certain habit changes alongside talking therapy. She aims to blend methods so clients leave with clear steps they can use between sessions.

She communicates in English, Punjabi and Urdu. Faiza works with people both in the UK and internationally. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Ways of working Faiza names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How attachment and cognitive approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions use this lens to help people notice those patterns and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change behaviour and mood. In an online setting this can include homework, thought records and short behavioural tasks to do between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide whether attachment ideas, CBT or hypnotherapy best match the issue at hand. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
