Wajda Tabassum

Wajda Tabassum is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage anger and related concerns. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addictions, and low self-esteem. Wajda aims to create a respectful space where people can speak openly and feel heard.

Wajda offers remote sessions from her base in Uxbridge, West London. She uses a person-centred, humanistic style and tailors each meeting to the person's needs. Sessions are co‑created, with an emphasis on honesty, empathy and practical steps to move forward.

Her background includes a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She also holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling and a Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People. Wajda is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

In practice she draws on a range of approaches to suit each person. These include emotion-focused work, attachment-based perspectives, and acceptance and commitment ideas. Creative activities and brief, solution-focused techniques are available when helpful.

Wajda describes therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people to identify patterns, try new ways of responding, and build more workable day-to-day routines. Sessions aim to help people feel more in control of their reactions, relationships and decisions.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Wajda draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then take actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anger, anxiety and coping with life changes.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. Exploring these themes can help people change how they relate to others and manage emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, taking account of the person's goals and what feels helpful. That collaborative process often starts with a few sessions to see what fits.

Wajda offers remote sessions; please confirm the precise formats available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use creative exercises and reflective tasks between sessions to build new habits and respond differently to anger and stress.
