Yasmin Bouvier , NCPS

Yasmin Bouvier is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, eating issues, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and other life changes. Yasmin works with LGBT clients and addresses a wide range of emotional and practical problems.

Her style is warm and person-centred. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk at their own pace and without judgement. Creative options such as guided imagery or art are offered when helpful and always optional.

Yasmin uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. She draws on client-centred listening, attachment-based ideas about relationships, emotionally-focused work on feelings, and cognitive behavioural techniques for unhelpful thoughts and habits. She blends these to suit each person rather than following one fixed method.

She holds NCPS as a credential and has four years of practice experience. Her background includes supporting adults through traumatic experiences and major life transitions. That practical experience informs short and longer-term work depending on the issue.

Sessions are available in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messages. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How Yasmin’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how past and present relationships shape feelings and trust. Online sessions using this approach can help people understand patterns that affect intimacy, codependency and attachment concerns through reflective conversation and practical relationship tasks.

Client-centred therapy focuses on offering non-judgemental listening and empathy. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and supports the person to find their own solutions and strengths.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Remotely, CBT can include thought records, behaviour experiments and simple homework to try between sessions, which work well by video or messaging depending on the task.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then shape an approach together. That collaborative process may mix methods and can change as the work progresses.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
