About Wajda
Wajda Tabassum offers short, clear support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She introduces straightforward sessions that help clients speak about difficult feelings and learn practical ways to cope. Wajda keeps conversations direct and calm so people can begin to feel steadier and more in control.
She works from a humanistic, person-centred stance that values honesty and respect. Sessions are shaped together with the client, and plans are adjusted to fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Wajda draws on somatic ideas to help people notice how emotions show up in the body and to use physical awareness as part of change. Wajda holds a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP.
Her background also includes certificates in online and telephone counselling and training in trauma-informed assessment. Her work can include emotion-focused and attachment-based approaches to understand relationship patterns and close connection problems. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and pursue small steps towards them.
Sessions are offered remotely from the United Kingdom by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Wajda tailors the pace to individual needs and helps people practice new ways of coping between meetings. She supports adults dealing with a wide range of issues, including grief, addictions, body image and parenting strain.
Wajda aims to create a respectful, empathetic space where people can bring hard topics and try different ways of responding. Her style is practical, warm and collaborative so clients can make steady progress at a manageable pace.
Approaches that work well online and in the body
Wajda combines somatic-informed work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Somatic-informed work helps people notice how emotions appear in the body and use gentle physical awareness to reduce tension and build calm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions towards them while accepting difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at close relationship patterns and helps people understand how early bonds affect current connections.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Wajda works together with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative approach helps tailor sessions so they meet practical needs while respecting pace and comfort.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions suit people who prefer audio, and live chat or text-based messaging supports short check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still using somatic and values-focused techniques in a practical way.
