About Tayyauba

Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor who focuses on talking therapies to help people through difficult times. She uses a respectful and compassionate style and adapts sessions to each person. Tayyauba draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.

She supports people dealing with grief and bereavement, stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family tensions, parenting challenges and addiction concerns. She also helps with issues such as codependency, attachment difficulties, body image and managing chronic illness. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the person in front of her.

Tayyauba combines approaches that centre on relationships and emotional experience with practical, present‑focused work. She uses Attachment‑Based methods to look at how early connections affect current relationships, and Emotionally‑Focused ways of working to identify and shift patterns of interaction. Client‑centred and mindfulness approaches are used to help people feel heard and to build awareness in everyday life.

Tayyauba prefers talking therapy as the main route of support but is open to working with medication when that is appropriate for a person. She tailors a plan to fit each individual and their goals. The emphasis is on steady, collaborative progress rather than quick fixes.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How attachment and emotion work online

Attachment‑based work looks at how past relationships affect current connections and feelings; online sessions use conversation to notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy focuses on the feelings that drive how people interact and helps name and shift those emotional responses so relationships feel steadier.

Client‑centred practice places the person and their pace at the centre of the work, with the therapist following what matters most and reflecting it back. The therapist will talk with each person to decide which approach, or mix of approaches, is likely to help most. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process based on the person's needs, goals and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check‑in meetings and letting people join from different locations when convenient. It can also make it simpler to see a therapist who speaks a preferred language without needing to change where you live.
