How Tayyauba works

Relationship and family concerns come up often, and she offers help with parenting, communication and intimacy-related worries. Her approach adapts to what each person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviour.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help people name and work with strong emotions. Client-centred methods mean conversations are guided by the person's own priorities. Tayyauba combines short-term, practical techniques with deeper exploration when needed.

Mindfulness strategies are used to manage stress and bring attention back to the present. Psychodynamic thinking can help uncover patterns that repeat in relationships and choices. Sessions are conversational and collaborative.

Tayyauba will discuss whether talking therapy alone is best or if medication should be considered alongside therapy. Her aim is to build a clear plan that fits each person's goals and life circumstances.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current feelings and reactions, and it can help with trust, closeness and fear of abandonment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions in the moment, which is useful for managing grief, anxiety and relationship pain. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s priorities at the heart of the work, offering an accepting space where the client guides what to talk about and what to tackle next.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will explore a person's goals, preferences and life situation and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expressions and body language during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, written reflection, or when it helps to pause and reply in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
