Faiza Malik, BACP

Faiza Malik is a UK-based therapist with 27 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, addiction, grief, low self-esteem and a wide range of life transitions. She blends established counselling methods with solution-oriented tools, offering couples and individual work that often focuses on rebuilding confidence, improving communication and managing overwhelming emotions.

Her practice draws on a mix of therapeutic techniques including hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming reframes and Time Line Therapy alongside conventional counselling approaches. This combination is aimed at creating practical, empowering strategies that clients can use beyond the therapy room to reframe difficult patterns and move toward clearer goals.

Faiza places emphasis on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she brings long-term experience and client-focused care to sessions, working collaboratively to identify what will best support each person’s needs.

She welcomes clients seeking help with relationship and couples counselling, addictive behaviours, grief and loss, motivation and confidence, and related concerns. Faiza works with people from diverse backgrounds and supports therapy in English, Punjabi and Urdu, including arrangements for international clients interested in online sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and helps people understand and shift those patterns to build more secure connections. It is often useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and recurring interpersonal conflicts.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions to improve connection and communication, especially in couples work and in situations where emotional responses are getting in the way of close relationships.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access resources for change, helping with issues such as anxiety, cravings, self-esteem and motivation when combined with talking therapies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Faiza Malik will discuss each method, consider a client’s goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as therapy progresses so that the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - Faiza works with clients by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, locations and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or shifting life circumstances and to access support from wherever a client is based, including international locations.
