Tayyauba Sheikh uses a warm, person-focused style of counselling. She meets people where they are and focuses on what matters most to them. Her work is straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn right away.

Tayyauba has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people cope with bereavement, stress and anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

Her approach is tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She uses client-centred ways of working to keep the focus on the person's goals and experience.

Emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas help uncover feelings and past patterns that affect today's life. Sessions can include mindfulness practices to reduce intense feelings and solution-focused steps to create small, manageable change. Tayyauba is open to discussing medication when it is appropriate alongside talking therapy.

She aims to help people feel clearer and more able to cope. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, so people who prefer those languages can explore therapy in them. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Tayyauba invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session that fits their routine.

Approach and online therapy options

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations in close bonds. It helps people who notice repeated patterns in relationships or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals, creating a non-judgemental space where people set the pace and topics for each session. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions to improve connection and reduce distress in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tayyauba will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan that fits each person's goals, preferences and life situation. This is a collaborative process, and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging works well for frequent, brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
