About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and parenting challenges. She also helps with issues such as addictions, trauma, intimacy concerns and codependency.
Tayyauba focuses on talking therapy as her main approach and will discuss medication with a client when that feels appropriate. Sessions centre on clear conversation about what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She aims to make practical plans and to work through feelings and patterns that keep causing pain.
Her background includes supporting people through bereavement and family conflict. She also helps with career worries, low self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes. Practical skills and gentle reflection are both part of her way of working.
Tayyauba draws on approaches that pay attention to how attachment and past relationships shape present behaviour. She uses client-centred methods to keep the focus on the person's own priorities. Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ideas are used to understand core emotions and repeated patterns.
Sessions are conducted in English and also in Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu when needed. The therapist asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment so she can plan initial work and set straightforward goals.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports rebuilding clearer boundaries and safer interactions.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own goals at the centre. The counsellor listens without steering, so clients can name their priorities and try things out at their own pace.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with core emotions that drive repeated reactions. It can be useful for people who get stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, withdrawing or conflict when they feel hurt.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and choose methods that fit those aims. That choice can be reviewed as work progresses.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use audio-only when video is not practical. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help decide how to schedule sessions to suit everyday commitments.
