About Bushra

Bushra Yassin is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are coping with grief, loss and major life changes. She also supports those managing anxiety, stress, addictions and relationship difficulties, including codependency concerns.

She works in a respectful and culturally aware way, recognising how religion and background shape everyday life. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs, and she focuses on helping people build self-esteem and confidence. Bushra often helps people make sense of past events and decide what they want next.

Her approach draws on practical psychological methods alongside more reflective work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and take small, value-led steps. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships affect current patterns.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Bushra aims to create a calm space where people can explore painful memories and try new ways of coping. She also uses concepts from Jungian and client-centred approaches when they suit the person's needs.

Bushra is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP. She offers work in English and Urdu and will adapt the way she works to cultural differences and individual preferences. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that guide online therapy conversations

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines thinking patterns and builds practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process rather than a fixed promise. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration can mean mixing practical skills with time for reflection, depending on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and offering flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, or conversations without being on camera if that helps someone concentrate. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to meet personal rhythms, making therapy work around everyday commitments.
