Wajda Tabassum greets people with a calm, practical approach. She aims to make sessions simple and clear. Her style suits someone who wants straightforward help for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or life changes.

Wajda uses everyday language and a steady presence to help people feel heard and make small, realistic steps forward. Wajda holds a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Background and approach

Her background also includes training in online and telephone counselling and a range of certificates related to trauma, creative work and therapeutic coaching. In sessions she builds a co‑created space based on honesty, respect and empathy. She tends to tailor the plan to each person rather than following one rigid model.

That often means combining listening-focused, creative and skills-based work to suit what the person needs that week. Her practice draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based thinking and emotionally-focused work. She also uses person-centred principles and may include creative exercises or brief solution-focused steps to tackle immediate problems.

Wajda offers remote sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.

People who want a practical, empathetic counsellor who adapts methods to fit their life may find her approach helpful. She encourages honesty and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Wajda commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside person-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action rather than getting stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and helps people understand and change those patterns for better connection and emotion management. Person-centred work prioritises listening and empathy, creating space for people to find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She will work with each person to agree the methods that suit their needs and goals. That collaboration means techniques can shift over time, from short practical exercises to deeper emotion-focused sessions as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between calls and can fit around busy schedules. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor format and pace so therapy fits everyday life rather than the other way round.
