Faiza Malik, BACP

Faiza Malik is a UK-licensed counsellor with 27 years of professional experience and BACP membership - a recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation, addiction, depression, and the complexities of family and parenting dynamics.

Her approach blends established counselling techniques with targeted tools such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming reframes, hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy to create a holistic, solution-oriented process. This combination is aimed at helping people reframe unhelpful patterns, strengthen confidence, and develop practical coping strategies for life changes and ongoing challenges.

Faiza places emphasis on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. She recognises that beginning therapy often requires courage and offers supportive guidance through those first steps. Faiza provides services in English, Punjabi and Urdu, and she accepts international clients, offering a flexible practice that accommodates a variety of needs and backgrounds. She looks forward to supporting people as they work toward clearer goals and improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Faiza Malik integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and hypnotherapy into her online practice to address patterns in relationships and personal wellbeing. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current connections and can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment and attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and active listening to support a person-led process of growth, which can assist with self-esteem, depression and adapting to life changes. Hypnotherapy is used as a tool to access and reframe habitual responses and can complement other approaches when working with anxiety, habit change and motivation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Faiza collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical for the individual.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those living outside the therapist's immediate area. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, reduce travel time, and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
