About Wajda
Wajda Tabassum is a counsellor who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and life changes. She uses a warm, person-centred approach and offers remote sessions from her base in Uxbridge, West London. Wajda holds a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling and is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor. Sessions are described as co-created spaces that encourage authenticity and respect.
Wajda frames therapy around what each person needs. She works with adults on issues such as depression, addiction, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her wider focus includes attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and dissociation among other topics. She also notes support for LGBT issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice draws on humanistic and person-centred roots while borrowing tools from other approaches. Wajda may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques, Attachment-Based ideas, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, existential themes, and client-centred work depending on the situation. She also mentions creative and experiential methods and brief, solution-focused strategies when appropriate.
Wajda has a background in psychology and additional certificates, including a certificate in online and telephone counselling and training in trauma-aware assessment. She says she tailors sessions and treatment plans to each person's needs and works collaboratively to set goals.
Sessions are offered in English, and the biography indicates she can also offer sessions in Urdu and Hindi. The profile notes that she accepts international clients and that therapy is delivered remotely, with booking done via the platform's Start Therapy process.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Wajda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside person-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and emotion regulation, helping people understand how early bonds affect current connections.She treats therapy as a collaborative process. Finding the right approach happens together, with the therapist tailoring methods to each person's goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
The biography notes she offers remote sessions, so please confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Some approaches, like creative experiential activities or brief solution-focused work, adapt well to remote meetings and can be used to address issues such as trauma, grief or relationship concerns. Registered or accredited professionals aim to match approach and format to a person's needs so therapy can fit practical life constraints while focusing on meaningful change.
