About Maham
Maham Malik offers calm, practical support for people wrestling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She writes in simple terms and listens without judgement, helping people notice what matters and take manageable steps forward. Maham works with grief, trauma, career questions and the ripple effects of separation and communication breakdown.
She takes a culturally sensitive approach and is comfortable discussing how faith and background shape feelings and choices.
Background and approach
Her work is person-centred, so sessions focus on what the individual wants to change and how they want to feel. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at immediate, useful shifts as well as longer-term coping. Maham blends several practical methods to suit each person.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and self-worth. For people carrying painful memories, she uses trauma-focused techniques to reduce distress and build resilience.
Solution-focused methods are used when clients want short, goal-oriented work to move past a specific problem. With four years of professional experience and BACP registration, Maham practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her style is direct but warm, and she aims to make therapy fit around daily life and responsibilities.

Working with attachment, CBT and trauma online
Therapy here draws on attachment-based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people change patterns that cause pain. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences affect current trust, closeness and self-esteem, useful for relationship and self-worth issues. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Trauma-focused approaches are also available for people carrying difficult memories. These methods help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and teach grounding skills that make daily life easier. Maham will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and choose approaches together so therapy matches their goals and preferences.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and body language matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to speak aloud. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
