Holding your Hand

My name is Yasmin, I am of dual heritage and have volunteered in the community for as long as I can remember, which has exposed me to a wide range of people and experiences. This has helped me develop a deeper understanding of the challenges and struggles faced by individuals from different backgrounds. This translates to greater empathy and connection with my clients which is paramount for success in counselling.

Client Feedback

Read what my clients say about their transformative experiences with therapy.

I sought private counselling with Yasmin during a particularly difficult time. I was feeling anxious about returning to a work environment that felt threatening to both my wellbeing and professional standing. Even the simple task of writing down the work incident that had triggered my physical symptoms of anxiety felt overwhelming.

From my very first session with Yasmin, I felt awakened by her compassionate and insightful comments: “It’s okay to have a soft personality,” “What you need is to set healthy boundaries with your relationships,” and “Focus on now, your family, and how to make yourselves happy.” These words shifted something in me.

As I brought up the challenges I was facing, Yasmin gently guided me to look inward, helping me understand my personal traits and tendencies. She equipped me with practical tools to better manage my habits, mindset, relationships, and emotional resilience, including how to cope with anxiety and anxiety attacks.

Through this process, I became more self-caring, more attuned to my own thoughts and feelings, and more reflective. I learned to explore and grow, becoming someone who can now navigate difficult conversations and situations, whether at work or socially, while staying true to my soft, authentic self.

I feel more confident, more resilient, and a better goal-getter because of my sessions with Yasmin. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking support. I wish every person the chance to meet their best possible self, just as I have begun to do.

Working with Yasmin has been transformative. She’s helped me open up in ways I didn’t think I could, and guided me to explore deeper parts of myself with honesty and compassion. Through our sessions, I’ve developed a stronger sense of empathy, towards myself and others and I’ve been able to navigate some of the most difficult moments in my marriage with clarity and strength. Her support has genuinely changed the way I approach challenges and relationships.
