About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 27 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and motivation concerns, and addiction-related problems. Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu and she accepts international clients.
Faiza uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. She aims to help people notice and name difficult emotions that get in the way of everyday life. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural work and hypnotherapy are also offered when they suit a person’s goals.
In early sessions she listens to what matters most and helps identify patterns in feelings and relationships. She explains options plainly and uses exercises to practise new ways of responding. Short focused tasks and conversational techniques are used between sessions when helpful.
Faiza has long experience with addiction, relationship concerns and bereavement work. She also supports people who cope with chronic illness, body image problems, parenting stress, codependency and career-related pressure. Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues when these are relevant.
People are invited to complete a brief questionnaire before a first meeting so sessions can start with clear priorities. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the platform’s matching tool and schedule the first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on noticing and naming strong emotions that affect relationships and behaviour; online sessions use conversation and guided exercises to help people recognise those patterns and respond differently. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and comfort with closeness; this approach helps when issues such as abandonment or attachment worries are present. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns and goals at the centre of the work and relies on reflective conversation to identify what feels most important.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Faiza will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the balance of EFT, attachment, client-centred or cognitive tools as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process where options are explained and agreed before trying them.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can also combine conversational work with guided exercises and short tasks that people can practise between meetings.
