About Faiza
Faiza Malik uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical talking therapies to help people feel steadier in their everyday lives. She is a BACP counsellor with 27 years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. Faiza keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now - feelings, relationships and coping strategies.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression with clear steps to reduce overwhelm. Relationship and intimacy concerns are a frequent focus, as are addiction, eating and self-esteem difficulties.
Background and approach
Faiza also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, sleeping problems and major life changes. Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when helpful, and she may draw on hypnotherapy for relaxation and reframing work.
Sessions aim to help clients notice patterns, try new responses and build confidence in making changes. Faiza speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu, which helps when language and cultural context matter. She has worked across many long-term and short-term concerns, including caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, codependency and communication problems.
She describes her work as collaborative and practical. People who contact her usually start by describing what feels most urgent. From there Faiza helps set priorities and creates steps that fit each person’s life.
The tone in her sessions is warm, direct and goal-focused.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Attachment Work Online
Faiza often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients identify and work through intense emotions that affect relationships and wellbeing. EFT focuses on understanding emotional responses and creating new, safer ways of connecting with others.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonding patterns influence current relationships. This approach helps people recognise repeating cycles and develop more supported ways of relating to partners or close others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Faiza will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then recommend a combination of methods. The choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful for in-depth emotional work and body language, phone calls can be quicker or use less bandwidth, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship with a registered counsellor.
