About Tayyauba

Tayyauba Sheikh is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement, relationship and family concerns, and parenting difficulties. Sessions are focused on talking therapy while considering medical options when they are appropriate for the client.

She uses a mix of approaches to help people understand patterns that cause distress. That can mean looking at attachment and relationship dynamics, exploring emotional responses, or using client-centred listening to clarify what matters to the person. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage intense feelings in the moment.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating issues, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with life changes, career questions and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems.

Tayyauba aims to keep sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations look at what is happening now and how past relationships influence current patterns. She and the client shape the plan together, with regular review of progress and next steps.

Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. International clients are not accepted, and session details are confirmed during the booking process.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

The work often combines attachment-based thinking and emotionally-focused ideas with client-centred listening. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns, which can help when social anxiety or relationship strain is a concern. Emotionally-focused therapy pays attention to strong feelings in sessions and helps name and process them, useful for grief, intimacy issues and relationship conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and work together to decide which methods to try and how to adapt them over time. That means plans can change as progress is reviewed and new needs emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If you need sessions in Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu, that language support is available for planning and scheduling.
