About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a counsellor with 27 years of practice who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She uses approachable methods to help clients regain confidence and handle difficult emotions. Her manner is calm and straightforward, aimed at people who feel overwhelmed and want practical ways to move forward.
She combines talking therapy with techniques such as hypnotherapy and time line work to shift unhelpful patterns. Sessions centre on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, then practising new ways of responding.
Background and approach
This approach is aimed at people dealing with low mood, worry, relationship strain, or difficulties with motivation and self‑esteem. Her work also addresses addictions, eating and body image concerns, and grief. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues that affect how people relate to others.
People bring a wide range of life changes, career stress, chronic health challenges and caregiving strain to sessions, and she focuses on practical steps for coping. Faiza draws on client‑centred and emotionally focused methods to build understanding and strengthen emotional connection. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when clear behaviour or thought changes will help.
The style is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals and pace. Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu and she accepts international clients. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit them.
How her approaches work online and what to expect
Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and responses. Online sessions can help people notice patterns of closeness and distance, and practise new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve trust.Client‑centred counselling puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps clients find their own solutions. This can be useful for low mood, self‑esteem and emotional overwhelm where being heard matters most.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions this often involves setting simple experiments or homework between meetings to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours and see practical benefits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and test what fits a person’s goals and preferences. This happens together in the early sessions and can be adjusted over time to match progress and comfort level.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or text‑based messaging can be used for brief check‑ins, written reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these formats to support steady progress.
