Maham Malik
Person-centred help for stress and relationships
About Maham
Maham Malik helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in confidence, or unsure about relationships and life direction. She aims to create an accepting space where clients can talk honestly about stress, grief, trauma, work worries and problems with self-worth. Sessions are offered in English and Maham accepts international clients.
Maham uses straightforward, practical ways to help people make small changes that matter. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current fears and expectations. When trauma is part of someone's story, Maham brings trauma-focused approaches to help them make sense of painful memories and reduce their hold. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear goals and build steps towards them.
The work balances looking back to understand patterns and working forward to change everyday habits. Clients can expect a calm, respectful counsellor who listens without judgement. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and practical ways to get there.
Therapy can include short-term problem solving or deeper work over time, according to each persons needs. Maham holds a BACP credential, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of clinical experience supporting people with a range of concerns including communication problems, divorce and separation, panic attacks, multicultural issues and finding life purpose.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns in adult life and helps people understand why they react the way they do in close situations. It is useful for fears about rejection, trust or feeling emotionally distant from others.Client-centred therapy puts the persons experience at the heart of the session and aims to create an accepting, non-judgemental space. This approach helps people who need time to find their own answers and to rebuild self-trust.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing new ways of responding. It is often helpful for anxiety, panic and depression because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Maham will work together with each person to choose the right mix of these approaches. Deciding what feels most useful is part of the early work in sessions, and adjustments are made as goals and needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people prefer to read facial cues. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who want regular brief contact or who process better in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while preserving continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
