About Naveed
Counsellor Naveed Faizi is a BACP member with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, family issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting and coping with life changes including ADHD. Naveed speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts international clients.
Naveed uses psychodynamic therapy as a core approach. Sessions focus on talk-based work that looks at patterns from the past which affect current feelings and choices. She aims to help people notice repeated responses and understand what lies beneath them.
In session she listens for recurring themes such as attachment, abandonment or codependency. She will explore how past experiences shape present relationships and behaviours. This can include work on body image, eating and communication problems.
Naveed also addresses issues linked to chronic pain, illness and disability, and practical problems like sleep and parenting stress. She draws attention to emotional patterns around commitment, divorce, domestic violence and grief. The emphasis is on understanding how these issues keep recurring.
People can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that look for underlying causes rather than just immediate symptoms. She uses language clients can follow and offers time to reflect between points. For those who want to proceed, she asks people to use the site’s booking flow to choose an option and arrange a first appointment.
Psychodynamic approaches and remote counselling
Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and hidden feelings from earlier relationships. It uses talk work to bring those patterns into awareness so they can be reflected on and understood. This approach is often used for problems like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and issues linked to trauma and attachment.Finding the right way of working is a shared task. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the approach as therapy progresses. Clients and the counsellor decide together on goals and next steps based on needs and preferences.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, avoid travel time and maintain continuity if someone moves location. Some formats may work better for shorter check-ins, while others suit longer, talking sessions where body language helps the conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format they are offering and how it will fit into everyday routines.
