Tayyauba Sheikh , BACP, NCPS

Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor who uses talking therapy to help people move through difficult times. She works in the United Kingdom and speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. She brings four years of professional experience to her work and aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

Her practice focuses on common life challenges such as stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, parenting pressures and intimacy-related issues. Addictions, eating concerns and anger are other areas she addresses.

Tayyauba draws on approaches that include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, along with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she listens and follows the person’s pace, then shapes a plan that fits their needs and goals.

She combines short-term, solution-oriented work with deeper exploration when it helps. That can include practical coping skills, communication practice and looking at past patterns that affect current relationships. Talking therapy is her primary focus, and she will consider working with prescribed medication when that is appropriate for a client.

People who choose her can expect a straightforward, warm approach aimed at small, manageable changes. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to review progress as therapy continues.
