About Bushra
Bushra Yassin is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with grief, loss, life changes, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to trauma and domestic violence. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, codependency and problems sleeping.
Bushra often helps clients who want to understand how culture, religion and gender have shaped their everyday life and sense of self. She has experience supporting women from varied cultural backgrounds who are processing complicated grief or recovering from domestic violence. Her approach is direct and conversational, aimed at clarifying what matters most now.
In sessions she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods and Jungian thinking. That mix lets her combine practical exercises with space to reflect on personal meaning and relationships.
She pays attention to how early attachments and expectations about worth show up in adult relationships. That can include patterns like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or repeatedly putting others first. Conversations often look at boundaries, communication and how to rebuild a stronger sense of self.
Bushra works in English and Urdu. She asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session so they can set clear goals and agree a way forward.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and difficulties like people-pleasing that limit personal choices. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns such as fearing abandonment or over-giving; it looks at rebuilding more reliable ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and values clear listening and reflection to help people find their own direction.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then they will try methods that suit the person's needs. That collaborative decision-making means sessions can shift between practical exercises, reflective conversation or skills practice depending on progress.
Confirm the specific online formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel, or using video or phone options when camera time is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt sessions so they work around everyday schedules and practical limits.
