About Wajda
Wajda Tabassum welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and parenting strain. Wajda aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be honest about their feelings and start to make small changes.
Wajda combines practical conversation with reflective work. She draws on client-centred ways of working that follow the person rather than a script.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals so the plan can change as progress is made. Her background includes a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling from Middlesex University and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She also holds a Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People and a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling, among other training.
Wajda is BACP registered which is recorded as BACP on her profile. She offers remote sessions from her base in Uxbridge, West London, and accepts international clients. Wajda emphasises honesty, empathy and respect in her work, and encourages people to bring whatever they are experiencing without judgement.
She supports clients to identify practical steps that fit their daily lives. Reaching out can feel difficult, and Wajda aims to make the first sessions straightforward. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions to suit their needs.

How Wajda works online
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend methods that match the person's goals and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation and the plan can change as different needs emerge.
The practitioner offers remote sessions from her base in the United Kingdom, but exact session types are not itemised here. Confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, talking without travel time, or avoiding camera use when that feels better. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them keep therapy consistent alongside work, family and other commitments.
