Naveed Faizi, BACP

Naveed Faizi helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She works with individuals facing trauma, eating and body image concerns, addictions, or struggles with self-esteem. Naveed also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, parenting pressures, and big life changes. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu which can help if English feels limiting.

Naveed uses psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that repeat in a person’s life. She pays attention to past experiences and how they affect feelings and relationships now. Sessions are conversational and paced to what each person needs. Naveed aims to make space for honesty while keeping things practical.

She has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is listed as a credential. Naveed works with a wide range of concerns from relationship and family problems to ADHD and chronic illness-related distress.

Sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work or family life. International clients can be supported in the languages listed. The therapist matches the approach to the person rather than using the same plan for everyone.

For those new to therapy, Naveed asks a few questions up front to understand what matters most. From there she helps shape short- and longer-term goals and checks in regularly to adjust the work as needed.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns that recur across relationships and life choices. In practice this means talking through memories, feelings and recurring reactions to understand where they come from and what keeps them going. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief, eating and attachment-related issues.

In online sessions the same reflective work can happen over video or phone. Conversations explore current problems and early influences, and the therapist and client notice how themes repeat during their meetings. The therapist uses these observations to identify goals and small changes the client can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits. That might mean focusing on understanding long-term patterns or using shorter practical steps first, depending on the client's goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is lower, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
