Wajda Tabassum
Compassionate counsellor for life transitions
About Wajda
Wajda Tabassum helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She works with clients tackling relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction and difficulties with sleep or eating. Wajda is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member and draws on four years of professional experience in counselling.
Her sessions are shaped around each person's needs. She aims to create space for honesty, empathy and respect while people talk through hard things.
Background and approach
Wajda uses straightforward, practical conversation to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Her approach draws on several human-centred methods. This includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-led living, attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, and emotionally-focused work to help with hurt and connection.
She also uses client-centred listening and existential themes when appropriate. Wajda tailors each plan to the individual. She may bring in creative exercises, brief goal-focused techniques or narrative work depending on what is needed.
Sessions can include exploration of life events, skills for managing difficult feelings, and steps to change unhelpful habits. Wajda practises from the United Kingdom and offers remote sessions by video, phone, chat or messaging. Therapy is offered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and connection; it can help with attachment issues, intimacy and relationship worries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on their goals and preferences. This partnership means techniques may change as needs become clearer and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or need support between calls. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and busy schedules while still getting consistent therapeutic support.
