About Wajda

Wajda Tabassum is a counsellor who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma-related concerns. She works with adults on issues like depression, grief, addictions and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and clients can connect from the UK or internationally by remote appointment.

Wajda describes her sessions as co-created spaces. She encourages authenticity, empathy and respect while tailoring plans to each person. Practical options and next steps are talked through together so clients can choose what feels most helpful.

Background and approach

Her background includes a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Additional study covers online and telephone counselling and trauma-informed assessment.

Wajda draws on humanistic, person-centred ideas and a range of other approaches. She may use Attachment-based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or creative and brief therapy methods when these suit a person’s needs. The approach chosen depends on the presenting concern and the client's goals.

In remote sessions she offers practical tools alongside space to talk. Wajda supports people through parenting strain, intimacy issues, body image and chronic illness challenges. She also works with concerns such as dissociation, abandonment and codependency.

Reaching out is framed as a first step, not a promise of instant change. Wajda aims to work collaboratively so people feel understood and can make gradual, meaningful shifts in their lives.

Ways of working Wajda names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches are used in online therapy

Wajda commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing experiences and reduce the hold those memories have on everyday life. The work can include grounding and paced processing to help manage strong emotions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is offered to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while building actions that match their values. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes where small, steady steps matter.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of connecting and regulating feelings. This can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and attachment-related difficulties.

Choosing an approach is a shared task. The counsellor will talk through options, try things out and adjust methods to fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps find what feels most useful over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier between commitments, and live chat or messaging works well for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These choices help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep the focus on progress rather than logistics.
