Naveed Faizi, BACP

Naveed Faizi offers calm, straightforward support for people facing big life changes and midlife stress. She meets people where they are and focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, low mood, sleep trouble, relationship strain, and coping with loss. Naveed aims to make the first step feel manageable and practical rather than overwhelming.

She uses a psychodynamic approach to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. Sessions often involve talking through recent events and past influences to understand current feelings and behaviour. The work tends to be reflective and relational, helping people notice how old ways of relating turn up now.

Naveed has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script. This can include pacing sessions to what feels safe and useful for the individual.

Her language options include English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, which can help those who prefer to express themselves in another tongue. She supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns, from eating and body image issues to addiction, grief, parenting strain, and challenges linked to ageing.

To begin, people are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy function and complete a short matching questionnaire. That step helps match needs and schedule the first session with Naveed according to availability.

How psychodynamic work adapts to online counselling

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to recurring patterns in relationships and feelings. It helps uncover ways early experiences shape present reactions and can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship issues and coping with midlife change.

That approach is largely conversational and reflective. A typical session involves talking about what matters now, noticing recurring themes, and reflecting on how past events influence current choices. This can help people understand why they keep repeating certain behaviours or getting stuck in the same cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will decide how to proceed. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when full-length sessions are harder to manage. It can also make language-matched support accessible for those who prefer English, Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online appointments that help people maintain continuity of care while juggling everyday demands.
