About Tayyauba

Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor who focuses on talking therapies to help people move through difficult moments. She works with individuals on stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns. Tayyauba brings four years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

She uses a gentle, respectful style in sessions and adapts each plan to what the person needs. Conversations are guided by what feels most helpful to the client, whether that means exploring emotions, looking at patterns from the past, or trying practical steps for change.

Background and approach

Her approach includes attachment-informed work to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. Emotionally-focused ideas help people name feelings and connect them to behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment coping skills for stress and anxiety.

Tayyauba also draws on client-centred and psychodynamic influences to create space for reflection. She will discuss medication when it could support therapy, and coordinates that choice with the person’s preferences. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

She is based in the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. People can expect practical, straightforward support for common life challenges, from career transitions to coping with loss.

How attachment and emotionally-focused work translate online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings. Online sessions with this approach focus on noticing patterns in how people relate, and practising different ways of connecting in everyday life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasises recognising and naming emotions as a way to change unhelpful interaction patterns. In video or phone sessions the counsellor helps people identify core feelings and try new responses in the moment. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a shared decision. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they like to work, then suggest ways to proceed and check in regularly to adjust the plan. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when non-verbal cues help the work, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer typing or want brief, frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family life and other commitments.
