Wajda Tabassum, BACP

Wajda Tabassum is a counsellor based in Uxbridge, West London. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief and midlife-related changes. Wajda identifies as a BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - registered counsellor and offers sessions in English. She offers remote sessions and accepts international clients.

Wajda creates sessions that are co‑authored with each person. She aims for honesty, empathy and respect in conversations. Sessions are tailored to what each client needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her background includes a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She also holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling and training in trauma-informed risk assessment.

Wajda uses a humanistic, person-centred frame and draws on several approaches to meet different needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, Attachment-based perspectives, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and existential themes, alongside creative and brief interventions when helpful.

She describes sessions as spaces to name feelings, talk through difficult decisions and practise new ways of coping. If someone wants practical tools or reflective space, she adapts the work to match those aims and the pace a person chooses.

How Wajda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Wajda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on what matters to them. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions by emphasising values and small, practical steps.

Attachment‑based ideas and Emotionally‑Focused Therapy help when relationship patterns and emotional bonds are a concern. These approaches look at how past attachments affect current connections and aim to create new ways of relating and expressing feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods feel most helpful. Wajda adapts the style over time to match a person’s goals, pace and comfort level so sessions stay relevant.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as this profile notes remote sessions but does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also lets people use creative or experiential exercises in ways that suit their daily routine.
