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 common early-adulthood pressures such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflict, grief, depression and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She offers talking therapy as her main approach and will coordinate with medication when a client and their prescriber agree it is appropriate. Sessions focus on practical conversation and reflection rather than jargon or tests. Tayyauba aims to help people clarify immediate problems and find manageable next steps.

Her work draws on several therapeutic methods to suit different needs. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when emotions are intense in relationships. Client-centred and psychodynamic approaches support exploration of personal histories and current beliefs.

Mindfulness techniques are offered for people who want tools to manage stress, stay present and reduce rumination. She also uses solution-focused methods to set clear goals and track small changes over time. Together these ways of working help with career stress, coping with life changes and supporting parents who feel overwhelmed.

Tayyauba speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. She does not work with international clients outside the UK. To begin, people follow the site pathway to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationship patterns and can help people understand recurring conflicts or fears of abandonment. Client-centred therapy focuses on open, non-judgemental conversation where the client directs the pace and topics. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong feelings in relationship areas, useful for intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed choice made in advance.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact online options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work and busy schedules. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during the week and make sessions possible when someone is away from their usual area. Registered or accredited professionals on the site will help match approach and practical arrangements to the client’s needs.
