Wajda Tabassum, BACP

Wajda Tabassum is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and the everyday strain of life changes. She works with adults and offers remote sessions. Wajda holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She frames sessions as co-created spaces where honesty and respect matter. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and on practical steps to get there. Wajda adapts each session to the person, using plain language and an approach that matches the client’s goals. Her training includes a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She also has a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling and additional qualifications in creative and therapeutic coaching methods. In practice she draws on person-centred ideas alongside attachment-informed work and emotionally focused approaches. That means sessions often prioritise understanding feelings, improving communication, and noticing patterns that cause distress. Wajda mentions tools such as inner child work, creative experiential activities, brief therapy models and solution-focused techniques when these suit the client. She also brings psychoeducation and coaching-style support for practical problem-solving. She offers sessions in English, Urdu and Hindi and accepts international clients.

Approach and benefits of remote counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping during illness or major life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems to recognise those patterns and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wajda discusses options with each person and adapts her methods to match their goals, preferences and life situation. This is a collaborative process and the chosen mix of techniques can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Wajda holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling and offers remote sessions, so clients should confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use creative exercises and talking therapies from wherever they are, while keeping sessions focused on clear goals and practical coping skills.
