About Bushra
Bushra Yassin helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief and life changes. She supports people struggling with stress, low self-esteem, relationship strain, addiction concerns and parenting pressures. She also works with clients dealing with trauma, bereavement and issues around intimacy and attachment.
She describes a compassionate, person-focused style. Sessions start with listening to the person’s story and the problems they want to change. She adapts conversations and goals to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
This straightforward approach can help when everyday pressure feels overwhelming. Her practice draws on a mix of therapies to suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work are used to help people change unhelpful thinking, clarify values and rebuild relationships.
Mindfulness and client-centred listening are used alongside Jungian ideas when exploring deeper life themes. Bushra has seven years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with clients from varied cultural and religious backgrounds and pays attention to how culture affects daily life and coping.
Sessions can be carried out in English or Urdu. People are invited to set goals together and move at a pace that feels manageable. Practical strategies, emotional reflection and tailored discussion are combined so people can try out small changes between sessions.
The aim is to help someone feel steadier and more able to make choices that suit their life.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to challenge unhelpful thinking and change behaviour, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses. This can help people understand intimacy issues, abandonment fears and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video can feel most like an in-person meeting, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and to continue work with a therapist when life circumstances change.
