Bushra Yassin, BACP

Bushra Yassin is a counsellor who supports people facing midlife changes, grief and bereavement, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, stress, addictions and parenting strains. Bushra works with individuals who want to understand how life events have shaped them and where they want to go next.

She draws on seven years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work is warm and respectful, and she adapts conversations to each person's background and needs. She speaks English and Urdu, and has experience with clients from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.

In sessions she focuses on strengths, values and small steps that make a difference. She helps people tackle self-esteem and confidence issues, and supports those coping with trauma, domestic violence and complicated grief. Her approach pays attention to how relationships and early attachments influence current struggles.

Bushra uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. She also draws on client-centred and Jungian ideas when these fit the goals of therapy.

Her style aims to be practical and compassionate. Conversations are tailored, and plans are agreed together so people leave sessions with clear next steps. To start, clients follow the platform process to be matched and schedule their first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed actions toward those values, which can help with midlife transitions and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is partly a journey. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit your goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most. That way sessions stay relevant and personalised rather than fixed to one technique.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can use online meetings to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while focusing on practical steps and reflection that translate into everyday life.
