About Bushra
Bushra Yassin is a counsellor who helps people deal with grief, loss and major life changes. She supports those facing stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar mood challenges. She also works with people managing relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, addiction, anger and self-esteem problems.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based work alongside client-centred and Jungian ideas. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to each person and to build everyday strategies for coping and change.
Bushra has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has experience supporting women from different cultural and religious backgrounds, including those affected by domestic violence, complicated grief and cultural pressures on self-worth.
She pays attention to how culture, religion and life events shape everyday feelings and choices. Conversations are tailored to each person, with care taken to match pace and focus to the individual. Bushra emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in her work.
People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative process. She will help clarify goals, identify patterns that cause distress, and explore new ways of responding. Practical exercises and reflections are used between sessions to support progress.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters most to them. It supports work on values, committed action and simple daily experiments to reduce avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and connection; it is useful for intimacy concerns, relationship patterns and abandonment wounds. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people identify thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and practise concrete strategies to shift them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleeping issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on their goals, history and preferences. That assessment can change over time as needs move and progress is reviewed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera when bandwidth is low. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to continue steady therapeutic work and help clients apply tools in their everyday routines.
