About Bushra

Bushra Yassin is a BACP counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with parenting concerns, grief, stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She works with clients from varied cultural and religious backgrounds and speaks English and Urdu.

Bushra focuses on what is happening now and on small, practical steps people can take. She listens without judgment and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Many sessions centre on improving self‑esteem, sorting out the impact of life events, and addressing difficult reactions after loss or trauma.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on evidence‑informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred work. These methods are used to help people build clearer values, change unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen emotional connection to themselves and others. She has particular experience supporting women who have faced domestic violence and complicated grief.

She pays attention to cultural context and how it shapes daily life and identity. That background helps when exploring issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, body image and codependency. Bushra aims to tailor sessions to each person and to set goals that feel realistic.

Conversations can include practical strategies for managing sleep, stress, anger and addictions, as well as coaching around career or parenting pressures. She offers a calm, respectful space for people ready to start making changes.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take values‑led action even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which helps with sleep problems, anger, low mood and many stress reactions. Attachment‑based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current behaviour and feelings; this can help with intimacy concerns, abandonment worries and relationship difficulties. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences. Sessions are tailored over time, and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made. Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be quicker check‑ins or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit shorter updates, people who prefer writing, or those juggling busy schedules. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible while supporting the same therapeutic goals as in‑person work.
