Tayyauba Sheikh, BACP, NCPS

Tayyauba Sheikh is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and issues around anger and self-esteem.

She uses talking therapy as her main approach and will collaborate with medical treatment when that is appropriate for a client. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what feels difficult now and practical steps to change patterns that cause repeated problems.

Her background includes helping people manage bereavement, workplace and life stress, and conflict in close relationships. She also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns, and those navigating career changes or caregiving pressures.

Her work draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness. That means attention to how relationships shape feelings, helping clients name emotions, and using mindful awareness to reduce reactivity.

Tayyauba aims to plan sessions around the client’s needs. Conversations typically look at triggers, communication patterns, and small experiments to test new ways of behaving. She encourages practical skills alongside reflection so people can notice steady change in day-to-day life.
