About Tayyauba

Tayyauba Sheikh works from a person-centred and emotion-focused approach. She combines listening with practical steps so people can feel heard and begin to change unhelpful patterns. Tayyauba uses plain language and a calm style to make sessions simple and straightforward.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with grief, relationship and family concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Addictions, eating concerns and anger are included in her practice as well.

Background and approach

Tayyauba draws on Attachment-Based, Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centred ways of working. That means she pays attention to patterns in close relationships, how emotions guide behaviour, and the person’s own goals for therapy. She combines these with psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness to help people understand why they react as they do.

Her background includes four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and she holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She will tailor conversations and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Talking therapy is her main focus and she will discuss medication if it seems appropriate for a client.

Sessions can address parenting concerns, caregiver stress, coping with life changes and career questions. Tayyauba also works with people dealing with abandonment or attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and blended family issues. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.

Online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current bonds and trust. Online work can help people notice repeated patterns in relationships and try different ways of relating within sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and process strong feelings and learn new ways to respond in close relationships. EFT is often about naming emotions and practising new responses, which can be done in conversation over video or phone. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s own goals at the centre and uses empathic listening to build understanding and self-direction; this approach fits well with chat and messaging formats as much as with live calls.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means plans can change as therapy progresses to keep the work relevant and useful.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and work in a more conversational way. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for flexible pacing and quick check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring roles and daily life, while giving several ways to communicate with a registered or accredited professional.
