About Bushra
Bushra Yassin is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults on problems that affect life at home, including family concerns, parenting strain, grief and the effects of trauma. She also helps with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Her work often focuses on how life events shape self-esteem and confidence. She has particular experience supporting women who have faced complicated grief or domestic violence and who come from a range of cultural and religious backgrounds. She pays attention to how culture affects daily life and relationships.
In sessions she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods, and elements of Jungian thought. Conversations are aimed at clarifying what matters to the client and finding practical steps they can try between meetings.
She is also experienced around issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, chronic illness, body image, codependency, and communication problems. That work includes coping with career pressures, compassion fatigue and the emotional impact of chronic pain or long-term illness.
Sessions are offered in English and Urdu. International clients are accepted. To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used during online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by shifting what people do rather than trying to remove all uncomfortable thoughts.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. It offers practical techniques to manage anxiety, sleeping difficulties, stress and unhelpful reactions to everyday pressures.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence current ways of relating to others. It can be useful for intimacy-related concerns, abandonment worries and communication difficulties in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match the client’s needs. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting, so checking formats and practical details with the service is recommended before scheduling.
