About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor who uses talking therapy as her main way to help people. She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works with concerns such as bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and parenting challenges. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
In sessions she adapts the conversation and the plan to match each person's needs. She prioritises gentle, practical dialogue that helps a person make small changes.
Background and approach
Medication is not the first option, but she will coordinate with psychiatric care when that is appropriate for the client. Tayyauba draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. She also uses client-centred listening to ensure people feel heard and understood.
Emotion-focused methods help during times of strong emotion, and psychodynamic thinking can uncover repeating patterns that make life harder. Her practice includes mindfulness work to support stress reduction and emotional regulation. These techniques are offered in straightforward, usable ways so people can apply them between sessions.
Tayyauba pays attention to practical steps as well as emotional processing. People come to her for help with a wide range of difficulties including grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, eating struggles, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing career decisions, major life changes and caregiver strain.
Her style is collaborative and focused on helping individuals find clearer ways forward.

How Tayyauba's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can safely explore how past bonds shape present reactions and guide more supported ways of relating.Client-centred therapy focuses on active listening and empathy. In this style the counsellor follows what matters most to the individual and helps them find their own solutions through careful reflection.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify, accept and work with strong emotions so those feelings stop driving difficult behaviour. EFT is often helpful for people dealing with intense grief, trauma reactions or intimacy-related struggles.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as the work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change if needed.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less data and can fit into a busy day, while live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to continue work even when schedules are tight.
