About Tayyauba

Tayyauba Sheikh works on bereavement, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns using talking therapy as her main approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS, with four years of professional experience in the UK.

She focuses on helping people who are facing grief, ongoing stress, or low mood. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges and addiction-related problems. Sessions aim to be respectful and sensitive to each person's circumstances.

Her practice draws on a range of psychological approaches. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past bonds affect current relationships. Emotionally-focused work targets moments of strong feeling and the interaction patterns that maintain them. Client-centred methods keep the conversation guided by what the person brings to each session.

Tayyauba also uses psychodynamic thinking to consider longer-term patterns and mindfulness techniques to develop present-moment awareness and coping skills. She says talking therapy is her first priority, and she will work with pharmaceuticals if and when that is appropriate for the client.

Sessions are planned around what the individual wants to address, with practical steps and reflective conversation. There is an emphasis on clear discussion about goals, how progress might look, and next steps after each stage of work.

How her approaches work with remote counselling

Attachment-based work examines how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people notice patterns in how they connect with others; this can be useful for relationship strain and attachment concerns. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's perspective, keeping discussion led by what matters to them and helping build clarity about goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and working with strong emotions and the way these affect interactions, which is often helpful for intimacy and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the options and decide together with the client which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and everyday life, reduce travel time and allow focused, regular check-ins. Some formats also allow conversations without video, which can help when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find remote sessions an effective way to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily routines.
