Wajda Tabassum, BACP

Wajda Tabassum is a BACP counsellor with four years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strains, anger and self-esteem.

Her work draws on humanistic, person-centred principles. Sessions aim to be collaborative and direct. She emphasises honest conversation, respect and practical next steps rather than jargon or distant theory.

Wajda trained with a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University and holds a BA (Hons) in Psychology plus a Masters in Human Resource Management. She is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as MBACP, and has additional certificates relevant to online and telephone counselling.

Her approach blends several methods so the work can fit what a client needs. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas alongside attachment-based thinking and emotionally focused work. Creative activities, brief solution-focused steps and inner-child work also feature when helpful.

In sessions she will listen, help name what is happening, and offer concrete skills to manage strong feelings. The plan evolves with each person’s situation, with attention to communication patterns, boundaries and ways to cope with anger and stress.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
