About Bushra
Bushra Yassin, BACP counsellor, has seven years' experience working with people facing grief, life changes and a range of anxiety-related difficulties. She describes helping clients with bereavement, self-esteem and the impact of major life events. Bushra has worked with women from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds and with people affected by domestic violence, and she speaks English and Urdu.
She uses practical talking therapies and evidence-informed methods to address stress, anxiety, relationships and coping after loss. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, doable steps that make daily life easier. Bushra pays attention to how cultural background and personal beliefs shape feelings and choices.
Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas. That mix supports people who struggle with avoidance, self-criticism or worry about relationships. Jungian ideas and client-centred listening also help explore personal meaning and identity when that is useful.
Bushra works with concerns that include addiction, depression, bipolar features, parenting strain, chronic illness and issues around body image and intimacy. She also supports people facing career stress, anger, sleep problems and communication troubles. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping rather than quick fixes.
Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and on clarifying personal values so actions match what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and getting back to daily activities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, improve sleep and manage mood. It is useful for stress, low mood and many anxiety problems.
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. This can help when issues around abandonment, intimacy or communication keep repeating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try, reviewing what helps as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often find that remote work helps clients maintain continuity of care and practise new skills between sessions.
