About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor who uses talking therapy as her main way of working. She focuses on helping people cope with bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, and other concerns that affect everyday life. Tayyauba aims to treat people with sensitivity and compassion while tailoring conversations to each person’s needs.
With four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, she adapts her approach to suit what the client brings. She says she will work with pharmaceuticals when that is appropriate and agreed with the client. That means therapy sessions centre on dialogue, but may include discussion about medication options as part of care planning.
Tayyauba draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit different problems. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred listening to ensure the person feels heard and understood.
She integrates emotionally-focused techniques to address patterns in relationships and psychodynamic thinking to explore deeper themes that repeat over time. Mindfulness tools are offered to help manage stress and build calmer responses to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Her work includes support for people facing grief, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and intimacy-related difficulties, anger and self-esteem problems, career shifts, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses a range of related concerns such as body image, attachment and communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. People interested in starting are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present-day feelings and reactions, helping people understand why they respond the way they do in close connections. Client-centred therapy emphasises attentive listening and reflection, giving people space to lead the conversation while the counsellor follows and supports. Emotionally-focused ideas focus on patterns in relationships and strong feelings, helping people name emotions and try new ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the original biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier by reducing travel and making it simpler to have shorter check-ins or schedule appointments around work and family commitments. It can also allow use of mindfulness exercises and emotionally-focused conversation in a convenient way that suits your routine.
