About Bushra

Bushra Yassin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing anger and a range of related difficulties. She works with issues such as grief and bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strains and low self-esteem. Bushra communicates in English and Urdu and brings seven years of professional experience to her practice.

Her style is warm and respectful. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest reflection so people can move forward after painful events.

Bushra draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also brings client-centred listening and longer-form Jungian ideas when they help.

She has experience supporting women from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, including those who have experienced domestic violence and complicated grief. Bushra pays attention to how cultural expectations affect day-to-day life and identity.

People usually begin with a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to fit their schedule. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anger, anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns of trust and closeness, which can explain repeated conflict or hurt in later relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour cycles that maintain problems and testing practical changes to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what you want to achieve, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans as you learn which tools help. Your goals and preferences guide which techniques are used.

Please confirm the specific session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can still make sessions fit everyday life better - it can save travel, make it easier to attend around work or family commitments, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to help people progress when coming in person is difficult. Bushra will discuss practical arrangements and scheduling once you begin the matching process.
