About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict and parenting pressures. She uses talking therapy first and will discuss medication when it seems appropriate to a client's situation.
Tayyauba keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She aims to help people talk through painful events, untangle relationship patterns and find ways to reduce daily stress. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing at home and on manageable steps people can try between sessions.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused work to look at how bonds and past experiences shape current relationships. She also uses client-centred techniques to let the client set the pace, and psychodynamic thinking to notice repeated patterns that cause problems.
She offers mindfulness tools to support stress, grief and mood difficulties. These are simple practices to help with calmer thinking and better regulation during hard moments. Tayyauba also supports conversations about addiction, intimacy-related struggles, eating concerns and career-related stress.
Tayyauba speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. People considering sessions are encouraged to complete the matching questionnaire so they can schedule a first appointment and discuss which approaches might suit their situation.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current interactions. Online sessions can help people notice how they react in intimate relationships and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the emotions that underlie relationship difficulties and helps people identify and express those feelings more clearly. This can be useful for addressing partner-related tensions or managing hurt from past losses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy week and cutting travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, or to join sessions when quieter surroundings are available. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how appointments are delivered, and consider which arrangement best fits your daily routine.
