Tayyauba Sheikh
Compassionate talking therapy for life’s hard moments
About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh uses talking therapy as her primary approach to help people facing difficult life moments. She gently guides conversations about grief, stress and anxiety so they feel manageable. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and works from the United Kingdom.
Tayyauba holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has four years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, including parenting strains and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with depression, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She will tailor sessions to the concerns brought by each person and adapt the pace to what feels right. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work to look at how early patterns and present emotions shape close relationships. She also uses client-centred techniques that keep the person’s goals central, plus mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking when helpful.
Tayyauba aims to work respectfully and with sensitivity toward every person’s background and beliefs. She is willing to discuss the role of medication when that would help alongside therapy. She frames the work as a partnership and helps people set clear, practical goals.
Sessions may include talking through difficult memories, practising new communication skills, or developing strategies to manage low mood and anxiety. She supports people as they navigate life changes, grief and career strain, helping them build coping skills and clearer direction.

Sessions & fees
Online approaches that help relationships and emotions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping people notice patterns in their close connections and try new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings in the moment and how they affect interactions, which can help when relationship dynamics or intimacy issues cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person’s goals and experience at the heart of sessions, giving space to be heard and to build insight at a comfortable pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Expectations are discussed together and the plan can change as progress and priorities become clearer.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging offers practical flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and seeing gestures, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break in a workday, and live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or want brief check-ins. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life and to maintain continuity across weeks.
