About Bushra
Bushra Yassin is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including grief, coping with life changes, self-esteem, relationship difficulties and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and she accepts international clients.
She commonly supports people who have experienced loss, bereavement or domestic violence and those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety or addiction. She also works with people facing career pressure, parenting strain, sleep problems and intimacy-related issues. Anger appears among the areas she helps people manage alongside attachment and abandonment concerns.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred practice and Jungian ideas. In practice this means talking through present problems, noticing patterns of thinking and behaviour, and finding values-based steps that fit day-to-day life. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what a person wants to change.
She has experience working with women from varied cultural and religious backgrounds and has supported people affected by domestic violence and complex grief. That background informs how she talks about shame, worth and cultural expectations when these issues are relevant.
Bushra frames therapy as a collaborative process. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps when anger or distress gets in the way of living the life someone values by teaching simple ways to notice thoughts and choose actions that matter.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is useful for anger linked to unhelpful thinking or repeated reactions at work or home, and for practical strategies to respond differently.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns. When anger is tied to abandonment, trust or communication problems, this approach helps name those patterns and test new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT techniques with CBT tools and attachment-focused conversations to suit what the person wants to change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time and let someone join from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to help clients keep therapy practical and workable alongside everyday life.
