Tayyauba Sheikh, BACP, NCPS

Tayyauba Sheikh offers talking therapy grounded in human connection and understanding. She brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions and focuses on helping people find practical ways to feel steadier. Tayyauba uses conversations tailored to each person’s needs and goals. She has four years of professional experience and works in the United Kingdom.

Her work often centres on bereavement, stress and anxiety, and relationship concerns. She also helps people facing family conflict, parenting pressures, addiction issues, and low mood. Tayyauba supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy difficulties, eating concerns, anger, and self-esteem problems.

She draws on attachment-based, client-centred, emotionally-focused, mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches. In practice this means she pays attention to emotional patterns, how relationships shape feelings, and the immediate concerns a person brings to sessions. She aims to make therapy a collaborative process with clear, achievable steps.

Tayyauba will discuss how talking therapy can fit alongside other treatments when appropriate. She emphasises sensitivity and respect, and adapts the pace to what each person needs. Language options include English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu to help people express themselves more easily.

To start, readers are asked to use the site Start Therapy workflow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns and practise different responses in their everyday relationships. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person’s experience, with the counsellor offering acceptance and clear listening so clients can find their own solutions and move at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in close relationships, helping people identify and change unhelpful cycles to improve connection and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps most and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make it simpler to work around childcare or work commitments. Discussing practical arrangements first helps tailor sessions to the person’s rhythms and requirements.
