Tayyauba Sheikh is a UK-licensed therapist with four years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, parenting challenges and a wide range of life changes. She works with individuals and families facing depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy and eating concerns, career strain, low self-esteem, anger and coping with chronic illness, among other issues. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs and circumstances.

Fluent in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, Tayyauba provides culturally attuned care for clients who prefer those languages. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials - BACP being a UK counselling association and NCPS representing a professional counselling certification - which reflect her professional standing and training. Talking therapies are central to her approach, and she will collaborate with clients and other healthcare providers about pharmaceuticals when that option is appropriate for the client.

Tayyauba aims to make the first step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life as approachable as possible, offering tailored support and practical strategies while honoring each person’s courage in seeking change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tayyauba Sheikh draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor online therapy to each client’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings and behavior and can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment or relationship cycles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients identify and shift emotional responses that create distance or conflict in relationships, making it useful for couples and individuals working on connection and communication. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and acceptance skills that reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, anxiety and difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tayyauba works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Registered professionals guide that selection and invite client input at every step.

Online therapy with Tayyauba is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or work and to continue therapy during life transitions without sacrificing continuity of care.
