Wajda Tabassum, BACP

Wajda Tabassum is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. She accepts international clients and offers remote sessions.

Her practice blends humanistic, person‑centred methods with practical tools. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, identifying what matters to the client, and trying small, manageable steps to test change. Wajda uses approaches like attachment work, emotionally focused techniques and acceptance‑based ideas when they fit the person's goals.

She trained with a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as MBACP. Other training includes online and telephone counselling and trauma‑informed assessment work.

In practice she offers creative options alongside talking therapy, such as therapeutic art and experiential activities. She can draw on brief, solution‑focused methods or longer exploratory work depending on what someone wants to try. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and practical, not a script of techniques.

Wajda’s background in psychology and human resources informs a straightforward approach to issues such as workplace stress and career concerns. People who prefer a conversational, person‑centred style and pragmatic steps often find this format helpful when addressing anxiety or relationship difficulties.

To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session, so the initial meeting can focus on practical priorities and next steps.
