About Bushra
Bushra Yassin helps people navigate grief, loss, trauma, relationship tensions and stress. She supports those dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, parenting strain and major life changes. She also works with issues such as domestic violence, body image, chronic illness and career uncertainty.
Bushra speaks English and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom. Bushra draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape conversations and practical tasks. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to small changes.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build healthier routines. Attachment-based ideas help when early relational patterns affect current relationships. Her style is warm and respectful.
She aims to tailor sessions to each person’s background and beliefs. Cultural and religious influences are treated as important parts of the story rather than side notes. Bushra has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP.
She has particular experience supporting women who have experienced complicated grief and domestic violence, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Practical tasks, reflective work and clear goals are typical in her sessions. Conversations can include exploring past events, testing new ways of behaving and building coping strategies for everyday life.
People who want coaching-style support alongside therapy can discuss that together. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so sessions can be arranged according to the therapist’s availability. International clients are accepted, and fees vary with location and the subscription model in use.

How Bushra works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and low self-esteem.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns today and can be helpful when intimacy, trust or abandonment issues cause pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit around work, care duties and travel, and it can make it easier to have a shorter check-in when time is limited. If a quieter environment is needed for focused conversation, scheduling can be arranged to suit everyday routines. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, can explain practical options when you begin the matching and scheduling steps.
