— to help you feel connected, confident and secure within yourself and in your relationships.
At Insight Centre Counselling, I work with you to explore the experiences that have shaped your life and the person you are today. Whether it’s grief, anxiety, the lingering impact of past trauma or relationships patterns that feel stuck or challenging, I provide a safe and supportive space to gain insight into what’s happening beneath the surface.
If life feels overwhelming and you don’t quite feel right, therapy offers a chance to slow down, make sense of your world, and discover a new way of being. Together, we help you find clarity, regain balance, and move toward the change you are hoping for — so you don’t just cope better, but feel better within yourself and in your relationships.
I’m passionate about supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges. Seeking counselling is a brave step towards gaining support and insight, and my goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.
I bring a multicultural background to my practice, which informs my understanding of diverse perspectives and experiences. I recognise that every person’s journey is unique, and I take the time to understand what you’re personally going through. My approach is grounded in empathy and respect, and I aim to help you gain clarity
in all aspects of your life.
I believe insight is an important first step, but we cannot heal with insight alone. My therapy approach integrates compassionate evidence- based therapy with current neuroscience that aims to help you feel better long term.
Individual Therapy
Therapies I utilise with individuals include CBT, ACT, memory reconsolidation, inner child healing, parts work, somatics and experiential techniques. In therapy sessions, we draw on an understanding of how the brain, body and nervous system shape our experiences and support recovery.
Couples Therapy
In couples therapy I draw from Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and the Gottman method.
EFT helps identify cycles you may feel stuck in, understand attachment styles and create new experiences in sessions that feel connected and supported. Alongside EFT, Gottman method provides a strong foundation and framework for couples to build on.
"Before I started counselling I felt lost and without direction. Over time I have learnt how to focus on the journey and not just the destination. My day to day life now feels meaningful, and my relationship with myself and others has improved immensely. I look forward to every session I have with Yasmin, she really listens thoughtfully and I have developed a deeper insight about my childhood and who I am today.."
"When I started with Yasmin I was facing work and family challenges, I was anxious and experiencing panic attacks. Yasmin allowed me to open up, explore my thoughts and challenges, and develop valuable insight. I have now learnt how to manage my emotions and I have built a healthier life for myself. I am sincerely grateful for her guidance and support."
"I feel lucky to have found Yasmin as a counsellor. We established a great connection from the beginning and I felt comfortable and safe to be honest and open. Yasmin really listens without judgment and cares about what I say during each session and I am a lot calmer after I speak to her. I have developed more self awareness, understanding of my concerns, and I am feeling better about myself."
