Hello — I'm Yasmin
MBACP · Relate-Trained Couples Counsellor · Pronouns: she/her. An experienced MBACP counsellor and Relate-trained couples therapist — with a particular interest in relationship difficulties, and in working with individuals and couples.
Ten years of practice as a Relate-trained couples counsellor, and many more years walking alongside people through grief, anxiety and life’s harder seasons.
I work in a person-centred way and in collaboration with my clients — helping you find your own way to improve your relationships and your sense of self. When people feel heard and respected, change becomes possible.
I work 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 diagnosed or not.
Alongside private practice, I have five years of experience counselling in a GP surgery and seven years working with Cruse Bereavement Care — experience that informs the steady, compassionate space I offer in every session.
Counselling is an opportunity to talk through your concerns, explore your issues, resolve them, and find a way forwards.
Academically rigorous and clinically grounded
Relate-trained couples work, person-centred practice, and many years counselling in GP surgery and bereavement settings — woven together in how I work.
