About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh offers a talking-therapy approach that centres on listening and understanding. She uses client-centred work combined with attachment and emotion-focused ideas to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Tayyauba keeps sessions straightforward and practical so parents can fit therapy into a busy life.
She draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice includes support for grief, stress and anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma.
Background and approach
She also addresses relationship and intimacy difficulties in one-to-one sessions. In a typical meeting Tayyauba focuses on what feels most urgent for the person in front of her. She listens for patterns from past relationships and helps people spot how those patterns affect the present.
That way clients can try different ways of responding when old habits cause pain. She uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas alongside solution-focused tools to build short and longer term plans. Conversations cover practical steps as well as emotional understanding.
Medication is not the main route in her work but she will discuss it and work alongside it if a client wishes. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. Tayyauba aims to create a respectful, sensitive space so people feel able to speak honestly about parenting strain, career pressure, caregiving stress or life changes.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The focus is on small, manageable changes that can make daily life feel steadier.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try new ways of connecting with others. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to core feelings and how they drive behaviour in relationships. It can help people feel their emotions, name them and practise different responses. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental listening stance where the person leads the agenda and the therapist reflects what they hear.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which ideas to use and adapt those tools as progress is made so the work matches real life needs.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial expression and body language for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief coaching or when writing helps people think things through. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around parenting, work and caregiving commitments.
