About Yasmin

Yasmin Bouvier is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She helps people managing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients coping with trauma, grief, eating and body image difficulties, parenting strain, and life transitions.

Yasmin uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Sessions focus on naming and working with emotions that can feel hard to identify. She listens for patterns in how people relate to others and themselves, then works with clients to try different ways of responding.

Her style is gentle and paced to each person. She may offer creative tools such as guided imagery or art when emotions feel stuck, and these are optional. Conversations are practical and aim to help people understand what keeps an issue going and what might shift it.

Clients can expect a mix of talking and hands-on techniques tailored to what they prefer. Yasmin explains approaches in plain language and checks in about what feels useful. She supports people exploring identity and relationship challenges, including LGBT concerns and intimacy-related issues.

Yasmin’s practice also covers a wide range of life stressors such as career difficulties, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and pain, ADHD, and substance-related problems. People considering first sessions are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment.

How Yasmin uses EFT and related approaches online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and the ways they shape relationships and personal patterns. It can help when feelings are hard to name and when attachment needs influence how someone reacts to stress or conflict.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current attachment patterns affect present relationships and coping. It supports people who want to understand recurring relationship dynamics and develop different ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, using listening and reflection to help clarify feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of what happens in early sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which combination of EFT, attachment work or client-centred methods fits best for the client's goals and preferences. This is discussed and adjusted as therapy progresses.

The practicalities of online work should be confirmed before booking, as session formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about which formats are available when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, or choose a quieter setting, and some formats may suit shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that helps with focus.
