About Bushra
Bushra Yassin is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with stress, addiction, low self-esteem and life changes. She works in English and Urdu and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Her style is person-centred and practical. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to build small steps that feel doable. Conversations are tailored to each person, with respect for cultural and religious backgrounds.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in close relationships. Jungian ideas may be used when exploring personal meaning and life themes.
Bushra has worked with many women who have experienced complicated grief and domestic violence, and she attends to how cultural context shapes a person’s experience. She helps people explore how past events affect their present and what they want next. In sessions she focuses on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence.
Therapy may include short exercises between sessions to practise new ways of managing stress or relationships. She encourages people to take the next step at their own pace.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it suits problems like worry, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses, which can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, values and practical needs. Sessions may blend different approaches and adapt over time as progress and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video is good for a fuller conversational session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for shorter check-ins or when people prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or other commitments make in-person meetings difficult.
