Faiza Malik, BACP

Faiza Malik is a UK-based therapist with 27 years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, low self-esteem and confidence issues. She offers therapy for a wide range of challenges including depression, parenting and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image issues, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD and coping with life transitions. Her practice also addresses more specific struggles such as abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and substance or alcohol addiction.

Drawing on many years of clinical work, she blends traditional counselling with practical techniques such as hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming reframes and Time Line Therapy to create a solution-focused, holistic approach. Those methods are used alongside well-established therapeutic models to help clients reframe unhelpful patterns, build confidence and develop practical tools for lasting change. Faiza is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals her commitment to professional standards in the UK.

She works to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Recognising that beginning therapy takes courage, she encourages people who are ready to take that step and offers collaborative support throughout the therapy journey. Faiza looks forward to meeting prospective clients and helping them move toward clearer thinking and greater emotional wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Faiza Malik uses several complementary methods to support clients, tailored to individual needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand connection, trust and vulnerability in relationships and works well for attachment issues and abandonment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management and unhelpful thinking patterns, offering concrete tools to change responses and build coping strategies.

Hypnotherapy is used as a guided technique to access focused states of attention and facilitate positive change, often combined with other therapeutic tools to address issues like habits, confidence and symptom management. Faiza approaches choice of method collaboratively - she and the client review goals, preferences and day-to-day realities to decide which approaches to prioritise and how to adapt them over time.

Online therapy with Faiza is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity during transitions or travel, and to access a registered professional from the UK even when working from another location.
