Are you struggling with a relationship or juggling the competing demands of your private and professional life? Are you feeling stuck and uncertain about how to fulfil your potential? Have you recently lost someone close to you? I first sought help as a young mother and the benefits were so enormous, I chose to train as a psychotherapist myself. I work one-to-one and with couples, helping you to identify patterns in your relationship with others, and with yourself, and establishing ways of changing those patterns that do not serve you.

Hello, I'm Yasmin, an integrative counsellor particularly passionate about supporting women struggling with low self-esteem to discover their own self-worth, and start living a life of empowerment and self-belief. All too often we readily give our kindness, grace and care to others, and yet speak to ourselves in ways that we wouldn’t dream of speaking to someone that we love. It might present as people-pleasing, self-sacrificing, lacking boundaries, however these behaviours are so often driven by a fundamental belief that you are not good enough. I know how exhausting it is to live this way, and I also know that it can change.

Children may come to therapy following trauma, anxiety, loss, family changes, abuse, neglect, emotional regulation difficulties, or neurodevelopmental differences.
A developmentally aligned approach enables children to make sense of their world and develop healthier ways of coping. I provide a safe, trusting space where children can communicate through play and words. They are able to explore their emotions and experiences, build confidence, develop resilience, and discover their unique strengths.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or unsure why they react the way they do. You may want space to breathe, feel understood, and explore your experiences safely. You might be seeking clarity, steadiness, or new ways of coping. You may want to understand yourself better, break old patterns, or feel more grounded and connected. Therapy offers support so you don’t have to navigate any of this alone.

Emergence Counselling
Counsellor, ACC Reg
I have counselling experience in many fields, including loss, self-worth, anxiety & depression, spiritual problems, work-related issues, relationships, life goals, and 'trauma-informed'.
What do you need? It is sometimes helpful to ask yourself - "What are my main goals as I go for counselling? What is important to me right now? How would I like to change?" Often all someone needs is some quality time and space to be able to be themselves, and be heard - not feeling judged no matter what they say, and feel some compassion from somebody who cares. In the busy and sometimes harsh world in which we live, I provide that space for you to come as you are, work with your expressed goals, rediscover a new way forward, and deal with the problems you are experiencing. Often people find a positive change in this scenario.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you will have the chance to share your problems, your difficult feelings, your pain and your life story.

Having a space where we can be fully ourselves, where we’re invited to slow down, breathe and investigate our inner world and our emotions is necessary, today, more than ever. We live busy lives and for many, it is difficult to stop and notice, most of the time, what is going on inside us. As we reconnect to our feelings and our essence there is an immediate sense

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
