About Faiza
Faiza Malik is a counsellor who combines hypnotherapy with talking therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She has 27 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Faiza speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Faiza uses hypnotherapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on practical reframes, building confidence and breaking cycles that relate to addiction, eating concerns or sleep problems.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing bereavement, relationship strain and career stress. Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages open conversation and helps clients set clear goals.
Techniques may include guided imagery, thought-challenging exercises and mindful awareness to reduce overwhelm and improve emotion regulation. Faiza has long experience supporting people through trauma, attachment difficulties and complicated family histories. She pays attention to how early relationships affect current behaviour and helps clients develop more helpful ways of relating.
That work can include exploring abandonment concerns and codependency patterns. Practical needs are covered too, including strategies for managing anger, coping with life changes and addressing chronic pain or long-term illness. Faiza explains steps clearly and works with each person to find what helps them most.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to provide flexible support.

Online support
How hypnotherapy and talking therapy work online
Faiza draws on hypnotherapy to help people access focused awareness and guided imagery for issues such as anxiety, insomnia and habit change. In simple terms hypnotherapy uses relaxation and suggestion to support new ways of thinking that a person can practise outside sessions.She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people form more helpful patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and collaborating to set goals that matter to the individual.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit. That way clients and therapist can adjust methods over time to find what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can fit therapy around work, travel or family life. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual feedback, phone calls need less bandwidth and can feel more immediate, while chat or messaging are useful for shorter check-ins and written reflections. These options make it easier to keep up with sessions and to try different formats as needs change.
