About Wajda
Wajda Tabassum is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who meets people where they are and helps them talk through difficult moments. She holds a BACP credential and frames sessions as co-created spaces built on empathy and respect. Wajda offers therapy in English and accepts international clients for remote work.
Her approach is person-centred and humanistic, so sessions focus on the client's experience and values. She may draw on Existential Therapy to look at meaning and choice, and on Attachment-Based ideas to understand relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy can also appear when useful. Wajda trained with a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University and holds a BA (Hons) in Psychology. Her background includes a certificate in online and telephone counselling and training in trauma-informed risk assessment.
She also has qualifications related to counselling children and young people and therapeutic art coaching. In practice she tailors sessions to individual needs. That can mean creative activities, brief solution-focused work, or longer exploratory conversations about loss, identity or relationships.
She aims to help people make choices that match their values and cope better with life changes. People commonly bring stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, or issues with self-esteem and addiction. Wajda describes therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they identify goals and take steps toward change.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Existential Therapy helps people consider values, meaning and choice when life feels uncertain. Online sessions can support conversations about identity, purpose and making difficult decisions by giving space to reflect and weigh options.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters to the client and on small, practical steps to move toward those values. In remote work ACT techniques can include short behavioural experiments, mindfulness practices, and goal-setting between sessions to build steady change.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationship patterns shape current connections and communication. Over video or phone the therapist can help clients notice recurring patterns, practise new ways of relating, and plan conversations they want to have with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and can adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls let sessions feel more like in-person meetings, phone work is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports short reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
