About Tayyauba
Counsellor and member of BACP and NCPS, Tayyauba Sheikh has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on talking therapy while considering medication when clients and prescribers find it appropriate.
Tayyauba uses an attachment-based outlook to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. She also draws on client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities, and uses elements of emotionally-focused and psychodynamic approaches to look at patterns behind recurring problems.
In practical terms, she helps people talk through grief, cope with life changes, and manage anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating concerns and career stress. Additional areas she lists include body image, codependency, caregiver stress and chronic illness related strain.
Sessions normally begin with a short assessment to clarify what someone wants from counselling. From there Tayyauba and the client agree goals and a way of working together. She can include mindful awareness techniques when useful to help with anxiety and grounding.
Language options include English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site's booking steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and interaction patterns. It is often used when trust, closeness or recurrent relationship problems are central. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room, following their priorities and pacing, and is useful when someone wants a reflective, non-directive way to talk things through. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and helps people change patterns that keep causing pain or distance. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and work with the client to decide which methods suit the issue at hand. That way the plan can change if one way of working does not fit. The profile does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by avoiding travel, allowing quieter surroundings, or enabling shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also makes it possible to continue work when relocating within the UK. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use this flexibility to maintain continuity of care while keeping the focus on practical progress.Areas of expertise
