Tayyauba Sheikh

Tayyauba Sheikh works with people facing loss, relationship strain and heavy life changes. She uses talking therapy as her main approach and focuses on grief, stress, anxiety and family or parenting concerns. Tayyauba aims to meet people where they are with respect and compassion.

She has four years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Her practice centres on tailoring conversation and plans to each person's needs. When medication may help, she will coordinate with other prescribers as appropriate.

Her way of working leans on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused methods to help people understand difficult feelings and improve close relationships. She also draws on client-centred listening, mindfulness skills and psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Tayyauba helps people talk through practical issues such as parenting, caregiving stress, career direction and coping with illness or ageing. She also supports those coping with addictions, body image concerns and burnout from high-empathy roles.

The aim in sessions is to make changes that fit into everyday life. Conversations are straightforward and geared to the goals each person brings. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and distance, and supports changes in how they relate to others. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in the moment and how they affect bonds with important people; it can be helpful for grief, relationship pain and attachment wounds. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental listening stance where the counsellor follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the client's goals. This is a collaborative process that changes as needs become clearer.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to speak without being on camera or who need more flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how they apply these approaches in remote sessions and help plan what will work best for the individual.
