About Maham
Maham Malik offers calm, non-judgemental support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. She helps those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and career uncertainty. Sessions are offered in English and are open to international clients.
Maham holds BACP and brings four years of clinical experience to her work. She creates a space where clients can speak openly about the things that matter to them.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on the client’s priorities and practical steps they can try between sessions. Maham draws on approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current connections and communication.
Solution-Focused Therapy techniques help set short-term goals and build momentum when people feel stuck. The tone in sessions is collaborative and down to earth, with clear action plans when useful. Maham also pays attention to cultural and faith-related concerns when these are important to the client.
She aims to help people feel heard, respected and understood while they work through difficult moments. Practical strategies and gentle exploration are balanced to suit each person’s pace. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging for appointments.
Therapy sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time, and scheduling is done after a short matching questionnaire.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping a person make sense of difficult experiences and learn ways to lessen their impact on daily life. It often uses practical exercises and paced conversation to reduce the power of intrusive memories and distressing responses.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Through short practical tasks and simple experiments people can test unhelpful beliefs and learn different ways of coping with anxiety, panic or low mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence current ways of relating and communicating. This can be useful for people wanting to improve trust, connection or conflict patterns in important relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. Together they choose methods and pace that feel manageable and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video helps keep face-to-face contact, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
