About Naveed

Naveed Faizi is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief and sleep problems. She also supports people navigating parenting challenges, ADHD and wider life changes.

Her style draws on psychodynamic therapy. Sessions look at patterns that repeat in a person’s life and how past experiences still shape feelings today. Naveed aims to help people name difficult feelings such as guilt or shame and see how those feelings link to choices and relationships.

She offers conversations in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, and accepts international clients. Practical matters such as fees vary by location and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, the process asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

In a typical session she will listen for recurring themes and help bring them into clearer focus. That can involve reflecting on childhood patterns, exploring attachment and abandonment worries, or looking at how grief, illness or chronic pain shape day-to-day life. Work may also touch on communication problems, codependency, commitment anxieties, and forgiveness.

Her background includes experience supporting people with eating and food-related problems, domestic violence impacts, family difficulties, and issues linked to ageing or chronic illness. Naveed encourages straightforward conversation about practical steps and next actions, and helps people weigh different ways to handle ongoing guilt or painful self-blame.

Psychodynamic work and online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and past events shape current feelings and behaviour. It often focuses on recurring patterns, attachment worries and how unresolved loss or abandonment can feed guilt or shame. This approach can be useful for people who want to understand where painful self-blame comes from and how it keeps repeating.

In sessions using psychodynamic ideas, conversations are centred on noticing themes that come up again and again. The counsellor helps link those patterns to present problems like anxiety, eating difficulties, or relationship strain. Discussions may also touch on chronic illness, ageing issues, or past trauma as they relate to ongoing emotional life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naveed will discuss options with each person and decide together what to focus on based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps shape whether psychodynamic ideas or different practical steps suit best.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to maintain continuity across locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that helps with bandwidth or a quieter setup. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue steady therapeutic focus without requiring travel.
