Bushra Yassin, BACP

Bushra Yassin helps people facing grief, trauma, relationship problems, anxiety and stress. She also supports those dealing with addiction, self‑esteem struggles, parenting strain and major life changes. Bushra works with issues around intimacy, anger, sleep, career concerns and chronic illness. She communicates in English and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom.

She has seven years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. Bushra focuses on listening carefully and creating a safe space to talk. She aims to shape each session around what the person needs that day rather than following a fixed script.

Her approach draws on several recognised therapies to suit different problems. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for practical work on thoughts and behaviours that keep someone stuck. Attachment‑based ideas are applied to understand patterns in relationships and closeness.

Sessions are adapted to the cultural and religious context of each person. Bushra has experience supporting women from diverse backgrounds, including people affected by domestic violence and complicated grief. She pays attention to how cultural expectations shape self‑worth and life choices.

Her style is respectful, warm and goal focused. She works together with people to set clear priorities and practical actions between sessions. Starting therapy is often hard and Bushra aims to make the next steps straightforward and manageable.

Approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them, and it can be useful for anxiety, grief and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is practical and problem focused - it looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve mood. Attachment‑based work explores how earlier relationship patterns influence current connections and can help with intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will discuss the different methods with the person and decide together which fit their needs and goals. That collaborative process makes it easier to try an approach and adjust it if needed.

Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make attendance easier by removing travel time and fitting sessions into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed, or accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote work aim to make therapy fit around everyday life while focusing on practical progress.
