Bushra Yassin, BACP

Bushra Yassin helps people facing relationship strain, grief and loss, and the stress that comes with big life changes. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep problems and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Bushra approaches conversations with respect and compassion, and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone who feels nervous about starting therapy.

With seven years of practice, Bushra draws on a mix of talking therapies to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns and try new ways of responding. Attachment‑based and client‑centred ideas guide how she builds trusting conversations. Jungian perspectives are available too when exploring deeper personal themes.

She has experience working with women from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, including people who have lived through domestic violence and complicated grief. Bushra pays close attention to how culture and beliefs shape daily life and relationships, and she adapts sessions to fit those contexts.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps as well as exploring feelings and past events. She helps with loss, parenting challenges, blended family issues, codependency, body image, chronic illness and long‑term health concerns, and career and self‑worth questions.

Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed script. Bushra invites clients to set goals, try techniques between sessions, and review progress together. If you decide to begin, she asks people to take a short questionnaire first to help match priorities and plan sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and clarify what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying behavioural experiments to create change in mood and habits; this can help with sleep, stress, and addictive patterns. Attachment‑based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build safer ways of relating and feeling at ease.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences, and then recommend ways of working that fit you. Sessions can blend methods over time so the plan evolves as progress becomes clearer.

The original profile does not list specific online or in‑person session types, so please confirm available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow brief check‑ins when a full session is not practical. It also supports continuity of care for people living outside the therapist's immediate area, including international clients. Registered or accredited professionals generally aim to adapt tools and worksheets for remote use so therapeutic work can continue between sessions.
