About Wajda
Wajda Tabassum is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and mentions remote sessions in her biography. Wajda aims to create sessions where people can speak openly and feel heard as they look for ways to rest better and manage sleep-related difficulties alongside other life stresses.
Wajda uses a humanistic, person-centred approach in sessions. She tailors work to each person’s needs and draws on a range of methods depending on what helps most. That can include emotionally focused techniques, attachment ideas, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when relevant.
She trained in counselling and psychology, holding a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling and a BA (Hons) in Psychology, and she is a BACP member. Wajda also lists certificates such as online and telephone counselling and training in trauma-aware assessment, which shape how she plans sessions and manages risk.
In practice she offers a calm, respectful space to talk through feelings and day-to-day problems. Topics she works with include sleep and rest, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. She also notes additional focus areas such as body image, chronic health-related issues, attachment difficulties and dissociation.
Wajda describes sessions as co-created. That means goals and techniques are chosen together, and plans can change as progress is reviewed. Her background in counselling, psychology and related certificates informs how she supports people to build better routines, rest habits and emotional coping skills.
How Wajda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Wajda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for sleep problems where worry or unhelpful thinking gets in the way of rest.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. That approach can help when anxiety, intimacy issues or grief are linked to attachment patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree what to try based on a person's goals, day-to-day rhythm and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is reviewed.
The biography notes remote sessions, but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let the therapist and client try creative or experiential exercises together using materials the client already has at home. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt methods for online delivery so therapeutic tasks and sleep-focused strategies remain practical and workable.
