About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh works from a client-centred and attachment-based perspective to help people manage stress, grief and relationship strain. She is identified as Tayyauba Sheikh and offers conversational, practical support aimed at everyday change. Her approach is warm and respectful and written plans are adapted to each person's needs.
She uses talking therapy as a primary way to help people understand feelings and habit patterns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past relationships shape current reactions. Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas are used to help people notice difficult emotions and respond differently to them.
Her practice includes support for bereavement, anxiety, depression and addiction-related concerns. She also helps with parenting strain, communication problems, body image and career stress. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among areas she addresses, alongside chronic illness, caregiving strain and attachment issues.
Tayyauba has four years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She aims to tailor conversations and any treatment plan to each person’s situation, and will coordinate with medical approaches when that is appropriate for the client.
Sessions are delivered in English and in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. People who live outside the United Kingdom are not currently accepted, so UK residents should confirm session choices before booking.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Her style is gentle and practical, focusing on clearer communication, manageable goals and pacing that fits everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and close relationships shape how people react now, helping them notice patterns in relationships and feel safer making different choices. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor following the client's lead and reflecting back what is most important to them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions in the moment so they can change unhelpful interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Tayyauba treats that as a collaboration. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most manageable, then suggest ways of working that match those needs. Decisions about combining talking therapy with medical treatment are made together when appropriate.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for steady follow-up over weeks. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone-based conversations when bandwidth is low. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements to find a rhythm that suits everyday life.
