Tayyauba Sheikh

Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor who uses talking therapy as her main way of helping people. She offers calm, respectful support for those coping with grief, stress and anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict and parenting challenges. Tayyauba aims to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs and circumstances.

She has four years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. In sessions she prioritises listening carefully and responding with sensitivity and compassion. She also recognises when medication might play a role and will coordinate with other healthcare professionals when appropriate.

Tayyauba draws on approaches that focus on emotions, relationships and personal history. That helps when people want to understand patterns that keep repeating in their relationships or when loss and past hurts affect day-to-day life. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused elements to help people manage stress and take practical steps forward.

Conversations are shaped around the goals a person brings to therapy. Some clients need help with confidence, others with communication, coping with life changes, or managing anger and addictive patterns. Tayyauba will adjust the pace and focus so sessions feel relevant and doable.

She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, and works from the United Kingdom. The first step is a short matching process to pair a person with the right support and then scheduling is arranged based on the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how people connect, withdraw or react in close relationships and helps them try new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and working with strong emotions in the moment, helping people express needs and repair difficult interactions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and following the client’s pace so they can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences and suggest ways to proceed. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean more towards emotion-focused exploration, relationship work, or practical steps to manage stress.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and giving more flexibility around scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work well at a distance while focusing on the same goals as in-person therapy.
