Wajda Tabassum, BACP

Wajda Tabassum is a BACP counsellor who offers co-created therapy sessions. She encourages authenticity, empathy, integrity and respect in the room. Wajda works with adults on a wide range of issues, including relationship worries, anxiety, stress and grief. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related difficulties and concerns around addiction and self-esteem.

Wajda trained in humanistic counselling and holds a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University. She also has a BA (Hons) in Psychology and a Masters in Human Resource Management. Her qualifications also include certificates in online and telephone counselling and Counselling Children and Young People.

Her approach is person-centred and humanistic, so sessions focus on the client’s priorities and pace. She draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused ways of working when relationships and bonds are central concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas may be used to help people notice values and take small steps in line with them.

Wajda offers tailored session plans that match each person’s needs. She mentions creative and experiential activities as options when that fits a client’s style. Practical tools, psychoeducation and shorter solution-focused strategies are also available alongside deeper, exploratory work.

She provides therapy in English and indicates experience working remotely from her base in Uxbridge, West London. If someone is unsure whether her style fits, she suggests a first conversation to see how she can help and to plan next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Wajda draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and client-centred practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice what truly matters to them and take small, value-led actions even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-based ideas look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and help people change unhelpful cycles. Client-centred work means the conversation follows the person, with the counsellor offering empathy, reflection and support rather than directing the story.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wajda will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which ways of working to try first. Together you can adjust the focus over time, mixing practical tools with deeper exploration as needed.

The biography notes she offers remote sessions, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when those suit a client. It can also accommodate creative exercises and reflective tasks between meetings, helping to keep progress moving between sessions.
