About Maham

Maham Malik helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem or life changes. She works with those coping with depression, grief, trauma and relationship problems. Her approach aims to make feeling understood the first step in getting better.

She creates a respectful space where cultural and religious identity are recognised. That means exploring how belief, community and background affect emotions and choices. Conversations are non-judgemental and centred on each person's experience.

How Maham works

Maham uses several practical methods to guide therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and how they affect moods and actions. Attachment-Based Therapy considers early relationships and how they shape present connections.

Trauma-Focused Therapy gives specific attention to past hurts that keep affecting daily life. Sessions tend to be collaborative and solution-minded. She also draws on Client-Centred and Solution-Focused techniques to set achievable goals and build coping skills.

The work is aimed at helping people manage panic attacks, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Her background includes four years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients who want online support.

Practical matters like scheduling and costs are handled through the platform subscription model. People can expect clear steps at the start: a short questionnaire to guide matching, then planning sessions around availability. The focus is on small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.

Online support options

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and patterns. Online work with this approach focuses on building trust and safe ways to talk about attachment issues so people can change repeating patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, depression and stress because it produces concrete steps to change thinking and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. That may mean combining attachment work with CBT or using solution‑focused techniques for clearer short‑term goals.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video is useful for in‑depth conversations and non‑verbal cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check‑ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family and busy lives while keeping the focus on progress and consistency.
