About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor who uses talking therapy as her main approach. She works in the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience to sessions. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu which helps her connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
She tailors conversations to each person's needs and keeps sessions respectful and compassionate. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and grief. She also helps with relationship strain, family conflict and parenting concerns.
Background and approach
Her practice includes support for depression, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses self-esteem, anger and career worries, and helps people cope with life changes. Additional areas of focus include body image, codependency and caregiver stress.
Tayyauba draws on approaches that explore emotional bonds, present experience and personal history. She favours Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ways of working, alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Talking is the priority, though she will collaborate with prescribers about medication when that fits the client.
Sessions are offered in a variety of online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. She is registered with BACP and NCPS and works with adults in the UK. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session to suit you.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early emotional bonds shape how people connect now. It helps when trust, closeness or fear of abandonment affect current relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions; the counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns of emotion in relationships and aims to shift how people respond to each other to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tayyauba will discuss goals and preferences and together decide what to try first. The process is collaborative and may blend elements from different approaches as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and fuller conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat gives a written back-and-forth and text messaging supports brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping contact consistent.
