About Bushra
Bushra Yassin is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as grief and bereavement, life changes, stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and she accepts international clients.
Her approach combines practical talking therapy with recognised methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and find small, doable changes that reduce tension in day-to-day life. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters now and next.
Bushra has particular experience supporting women from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. She has worked with people affected by domestic violence, complicated grief and shifts in self-esteem. She pays attention to how cultural expectations shape reactions and coping styles.
In sessions she explores past events that continue to influence feelings and relationships, while also building present strategies for coping with anger, sleep problems, or addictive behaviours. She uses client-centred listening alongside CBT and ACT techniques to practise new responses and manage distressing thoughts.
People who choose to work with her move at a steady, practical pace. Initial steps include a short questionnaire and a first appointment to set priorities. Fees vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.
How therapy methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them and focus on what matters most. It is useful for stress, anger that keeps recurring, and decisions about life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills to interrupt unhelpful thinking, reduce spikes of anger, and improve sleep or anxiety symptoms.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current responses to stress and conflict. It can help people understand patterns in their closest relationships and try new ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative decision can change as progress is made and needs shift.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or avoid travel when feeling low. Registered or accredited professionals use these practical options to help people maintain steady support while juggling everyday commitments.
