About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a counsellor with BACP registration and 27 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and everyday problems. Her work includes support for anger, stress, anxiety and relationship concerns, along with addiction and self-esteem issues.
She blends talking therapy with practical techniques tailored to each person. Sessions often include work on patterns from early relationships and present-day coping skills. That could mean looking at how attachments affect reactions, practising new ways to notice and change thoughts, or using guided relaxation methods to calm the body.
Faiza draws on a range of approaches to help people gain control over upsetting thoughts and behaviours. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most, cognitive tools to challenge unhelpful thinking, and emotionally-focused steps to improve connection and communication. Hypnotherapy is offered as an adjunct to support change when appropriate.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. People are invited to set practical aims and learn simple exercises they can use between sessions. The aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and build confidence in handling stress, anger and relationship strain.
Sessions are conducted in English, Punjabi and Urdu. Faiza accepts international clients and works with those navigating life transitions, grief, parenting pressures, chronic health concerns and career stress. To begin, prospective clients use the site process to match and schedule a first meeting.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can focus on identifying those patterns and trying new ways of relating that reduce tension and anger. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In remote meetings this often means practising thought records, behavioural experiments and simple skill-building between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions that drive conflict and disconnection; in an online setting it can be used to name feelings and rehearse different responses to improve closeness and communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients can expect explanations of options and chances to try different techniques to see what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend from another region. Registered or accredited professionals can guide adaptations so that practical exercises, relaxation work and relationship-focused sessions transfer well to remote appointments.
