About Bushra
Counsellor Bushra Yassin is a BACP member with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with grief, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, stress and anxiety, addictions, and other concerns listed in her practice. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu, and she accepts international clients.
Bushra works in a direct, conversational way. She listens to how life events have affected daily routines and self-worth. She supports people affected by domestic violence and those processing complicated grief. She also addresses practical problems such as sleep, parenting strain, career decisions, and managing mood issues like depression and bipolar symptoms.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred talking, and Jungian perspectives. In practice this means discussing feelings, noticing patterns, trying small changes and reflecting on personal meaning. She explains approaches in everyday language and checks what feels useful for each person.
Bushra has experience working with women from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds and pays attention to how culture shapes self-image and family roles. She explores issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, codependency, and blended family matters when they are relevant.

Approaches Bushra uses for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and taking small steps towards a life that matters to the person. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bushra will talk with the client about what feels helpful and adapt the style as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process that draws on ideas from different approaches to match goals and preferences.
