About Bushra

Bushra Yassin is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with grief, loss, stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing chronic illness, addiction and low self-esteem.

Her work often focuses on how life events shape daily experience. She talks with clients about attachment, abandonment and blended family challenges. She also helps people address body image, communication problems and the fallout from domestic violence.

Bushra adapts sessions to each person. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-informed and client-centred work. She aims to make practical sense of feelings and behaviours and to build small, usable changes.

She has experience working with women from a range of cultural and religious backgrounds. This informs how she talks about roles, expectations and identity in everyday life. Her BACP registration is shown as BACP on her profile.

Sessions focus on exploring what matters to the client and on setting realistic next steps. Bushra describes therapy as a collaborative process and tailors plans to each person. To begin, people are invited to complete the service questionnaire and book a session according to availability.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on values and action. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps with intimacy problems, abandonment concerns and communication issues. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's experience and pace, offering a non-judgemental space to talk through difficult events and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options together and choose methods that match the client's goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs become clearer.

Session formats are not specified on the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to keep continuity during life changes and to maintain regular support alongside everyday commitments.
