About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a counsellor with 27 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by strong emotions and life changes. Faiza speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and uses clear, everyday language in sessions.
She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression, as well as relationship and intimacy issues. She also helps with addictions, grief, self-esteem and eating or body image difficulties.
Background and approach
Practical coping skills are part of her work alongside longer-term emotional themes. Faiza combines client-centred listening with approaches that help people change unhelpful patterns. She explains ideas simply and works with each person to build small, achievable steps.
Hypnotherapy and mindfulness-style techniques are offered alongside talking therapy when they suit the person's needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the individual. Faiza pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that often underlie repeated problems.
She also offers support with career stress, caregiving strain and chronic illness challenges. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule and location.
Faiza emphasises practical tools and clearer thinking so people can manage day-to-day life more easily.

Online support
She also uses client-centred methods, which means listening closely and helping people lead the pace and focus of sessions. That approach suits people who need understanding, validation and gentle guidance while they sort out priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Faiza works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs and goals, and she adapts plans as progress is made. Conversations about what feels most helpful happen in early sessions and continue as priorities change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing flexible ways to keep working between other commitments. Video sessions let people use visual cues when discussing relationships, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suits brief check-ins or written reflection. These choices make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
