Yasmin Bouvier, NCPS

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current responses. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their close relationships and try different ways of relating in real time. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and reflecting what a person says, which helps people feel heard and better understand their own thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioural work helps identify unhelpful thinking and introduces small experiments to change thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Yasmin aims to work collaboratively, listening to a client's goals and adjusting methods as needed. Together they decide whether to focus on emotions, relational patterns or practical thinking strategies, and they may mix approaches over time to fit what is most helpful.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper emotional work is needed. Phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing coaching or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family and health commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
