Wajda Tabassum, BACP

Wajda Tabassum offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and life-change challenges. She introduces herself plainly and focuses on helping adults think through feelings and options. Sessions are designed to be collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs.

Wajda uses a mix of humanistic and relational approaches. She draws on person-centred ideas to encourage honesty and self-compassion. She also works with attachment and emotionally-focused methods when relationships and closeness are part of the concern.

Her background includes a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. Wajda holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She also has training in online and telephone counselling and an assessment workshop on trauma-informed risk assessment.

In sessions she adapts methods to what the person needs. This can mean creative activities, brief solution-focused work, or exploring early attachment patterns. The emphasis is on small, practical steps that match the client’s goals and pace.

Wajda offers remote sessions from the United Kingdom and speaks English. She helps people with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy and body image. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, chronic illness, burnout and work-related strain.

Her style is respectful and straightforward. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the scheduling system.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and coping through change.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships formed early in life and how they affect current trust and closeness. It can be useful when relationship patterns, abandonment worries or intimacy problems are a focus.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a respectful, non-judgemental listening stance where the person sets the pace. This approach supports self-understanding and builds confidence to make changes.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and current challenges and together they will try methods that suit the person. Sessions can be adapted as needs evolve and the therapist will explain why a particular method might help.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow visual connection for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to share thoughts without being on camera. These options help people access regular support around work, family and travel constraints.
