About Yasmeen
Yasmeen Desnavi BACP is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and she accepts international clients.
Yasmeen uses a mix of practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centred listening to clarify what matters most to each person.
Her past roles include work with hospital-based cancer support and GP referral services. That background informs her work with health-related worry and caregiver stress. She brings experience of supporting people facing bereavement and long-term illness.
In a session she focuses on clear steps and small experiments. Conversations cover current problems, helpful routines, and ways to manage strong emotions. She pays attention to how patterns of thinking affect mood and behaviour.
People can expect straightforward sessions that aim to make day-to-day coping easier. Yasmeen asks about goals and checks progress over time. Booking starts with an online matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
How Yasmeen combines practical approaches in online sessions
Yasmeen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred methods in her work. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-centred work emphasises listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters most and set realistic goals.She may also draw on solution-focused ideas to build quick, practical steps and on trauma-focused thinking when past events affect current coping. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, use video or audio depending on preference, and continue work when relocating. The exact session options should be confirmed before booking so they match the client’s needs and daily routine.
