Wajda Tabassum, BACP

Wajda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps towards those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current ways of relating; it can be useful for resolving trust, intimacy or communication problems. Client-Centred Therapy gives people an accepting, non-judgemental space to speak and be heard, which supports emotional exploration and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Wajda will work together with each person to try different ways of working and decide what fits best with their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls can be done with lower bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging helps when people prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity of care when travel or schedules make in-person meetings difficult.
