Wajda Tabassum is a multilingual counsellor based in Uxbridge, West London, who offers sessions in English, Urdu, and Hindi. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) - registration number 391096, and has four years of clinical experience.
Wajda holds a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University and a range of additional qualifications including a BA (Hons) in Psychology, a Masters in Human Resource Management, a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling, a Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People, certification as a Therapeutic Art Life Coach, training in trauma-informed clinical risk assessment, a Certificate in Equality and Diversity, and a Level 3 Certificate in Education and Training.
Her practice is grounded in humanistic counselling, drawing on a person-centred approach and transactional analysis. She works with adults on a wide variety of concerns - including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT matters, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Wajda tailors sessions and treatment plans to each client and may integrate approaches such as Internal Family Systems, attachment theory, psychosocial development, inner child work, creative experiential activities, brief therapy, emotionally focused therapy, existential and phenomenological perspectives, solution-focused brief therapy, relationship therapy, coaching, psychoeducation, CBT, and narrative approaches according to a client’s needs.
She offers remote sessions and seeks to co-create therapeutic spaces characterised by authenticity, empathy, integrity, and respect for self and others. Wajda acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help and aims to support clients through the changes they are pursuing, working alongside them toward greater empowerment and a more fulfilling life.
Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - individuals can choose the format that fits their life, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or travel commitments.
Therapy delivered remotely is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and people may change therapists if they feel a different fit is needed. For many clients, online therapy offers a practical and effective way to access professional support without travelling to an office, while retaining the possibility of switching providers when preferences change.
