About Bushra

Bushra Yassin supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, issues with intimacy, addictions, and relationship strain. She also helps with parenting concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, sleep problems, anger, bipolar and depression, and coping with major life changes. Bushra works with those dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family tensions, chronic illness, and other complex personal issues. She speaks English and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom.

Bushra uses a blend of therapy styles to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and build helpful habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviours. Attachment-based ideas are brought in when relationships and early experiences affect how someone relates now.

Her approach centres on respectful listening and practical steps. Sessions involve talking through recent problems, identifying patterns, and agreeing simple tasks to try between meetings. Bushra aims to make sessions feel relevant and manageable rather than overwhelming.

With seven years' experience, she has worked with people from varied cultural and religious backgrounds. She emphasises sensitivity to cultural context and adapts the pace and style of therapy to each person. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is listed among her credentials as BACP.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Bushra aims to make that step clearer. She will work collaboratively to set goals and review progress so therapy can stay useful and focused.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps that match those values, which can reduce stuck patterns and increase day-to-day meaning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to change mood and reactions.

Choosing the right approach is often part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time or arranging sessions around work breaks. It can also allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and it removes the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage better. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists listed here, can help you weigh practical choices and tailor sessions to what suits your routine and goals.
