“Very very experienced”

“Dr Malik is very patient and she listens attentively while creating a safe space for your concerns. Is recommended her to anyone experiencing any level of trauma.”

“She takes time to listen before responding, and responds in a way that helps me understand myself better. She has helped me understand a lot of the trauma that I’ve been through, and understand what I need to do to forgive myself and others.”

“She knows how to help! Highly recommended”

“Dr. Malik is very sweet and an amazing therapist, shes very understanding and gives me great advice and helpful worksheets.”

“After an extremely difficult family situation Dr, Maliks advice, support and insights have been of great value and importance. My conversations with her has prevented me from possibly becoming worse and is helping me to better understand myself.”

“I am really grateful that Dr Malik helped me in my difficult time she is a brilliant person ❤️ that I meet her ❤️”

“Right off the bat what I like about Dr Malik is how clearly experienced she is. With anything we've talked about so far, first and foremost she empathises with many different people and life situations. She also asks thought-provoking questions more than other therapists, so she seems pretty wise. But the reason I have stuck with Dr Malik is that she's the most easy-going and laid-back wise listener out of all the 10 therapists I've seen. She expresses no pressure or judgement with her responses, advice, body language or even facial expressions. Based on my experience I'm sure that Dr Malik has more experience than most with helping people face very difficult emotions or issues such as addiction, rage or family conflict.”

“Happy with this service.”

“I find great relief when I have the counselling and she has helped with all my concerns and advised me ways of how to deal with anxiety, tension and negative thoughts. I was really happy whenever I had a sessions with her, very warm and friendly”

“Dr Malik is patient, kind and compassionate. <br /> She is willing to listen to anything you have to say and also gives you practical advice that can help you overcome the issues you are facing.”

“Very Good Therapist <br /> Great Experience”

“She is amazing and kind who treats you like her own and helps you in all the possible manner ..feel blessed”

“Anila Malik has been very understanding and compassionate with me. Sometimes there are difficult subjects that I don't want to hear and she just is patient with me until I hear her.”

“Dr. Malik is very gentle and understanding. She truly listens and shares relevant and interesting resources. After working with her for several months, I feel that she helped me grow and move past some issues that I was dealing with, and would highly recommend her as a therapist.”
