About Yasmin

Yasmin Bouvier is an NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem and parenting concerns. Her practice also covers relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, ADHD and other life changes.

Yasmin uses a person-centred way of working that keeps conversations grounded and practical. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She often draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural tools are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.

Her emotional focus supports people who struggle with intense feelings, dissociation, emptiness or compassion fatigue. She can offer guided imagery or simple creative exercises when emotions feel stuck, and these are optional. The aim is to clarify what is getting in the way and to build steady coping skills.

Yasmin also addresses concerns related to chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain and body image, and she works with people facing separation, codependency, control issues and communication problems. She lists LGBT and bipolar among areas she supports.

Sessions are in English and follow a collaborative style. Practical steps are combined with reflective discussion so people can try things between sessions and see what helps in everyday life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Yasmin draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people struggle with mistrust, avoidance, clinginess or repetitive relationship behaviours. She also uses client-centred methods that keep the conversation focused on the person's pace and priorities, helping to surface what feels important now.

She commonly brings cognitive behavioural techniques into sessions to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small experiments. CBT tools can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems such as sleep or rumination. Together these approaches give both understanding and concrete steps to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Yasmin works collaboratively to figure out what fits a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss which methods to use and adapt them as people try different ways of working.

The original biography did not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins, and remove travel time so people can access therapy around childcare, work or medical appointments.
