About Yasmin

Therapy that is person-centred, collaborative and patient.

If you’re troubled or struggling with life and feel that no one understands, give yourself the opportunity to talk things through. I’m a supportive, patient listener and I’ll help you explore what’s going on at your own pace.

I’m an experienced Relate-trained couples counsellor and MBACP member, working with individuals and couples on a wide range of issues — including depression, anxiety, bereavement, and relationship difficulties.

I also work with couples where one partner may be on the Autistic Spectrum, whether formally diagnosed or not, bringing understanding and structure to the conversations that matter most.

My approach

Relational, integrative and committed to emotional safety

When people feel safe and respected, they can speak their truth more openly. That supports growth and change — and how that looks is unique for every client.

  • Person-centred therapy

    A warm, collaborative approach that trusts you as the expert on your own life — meeting you with respect and shared curiosity.

  • Couples therapy

    A space for couples to improve communication, navigate change and rebuild trust — including work with couples where one partner may be on the Autistic Spectrum, diagnosed or not.

  • Solution-focused brief therapy

    A practical, forward-looking approach that helps you build on your strengths and move towards the change you want to see.

  • Child counselling

    Age-appropriate support for younger clients, working at their pace and in a way that feels safe and understandable.

“Give yourself the opportunity to talk through your concerns — I’m a supportive and patient listener, and together we can find a way forwards.”

— Yasmin Lawson
