Yasmeen Desnavi

Yasmeen Desnavi is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She names practical steps people can use to manage difficult feelings and find more balance in day-to-day life.

She trained in psychology and practises as an MBACP counsellor. Her background includes work with community services and multinational organisations, and specific experience supporting people affected by cancer through roles with Macmillan Cancer Support and NHS GP referrals.

Sessions focus on the person rather than a label. Yasmeen blends different talking therapies to match what each person needs. She uses straight talk, guided exercises and reflective listening so people can notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

Her work includes stress reduction, building resilience, and supporting recovery from loss. She also helps with relationship concerns, communication problems, codependency and attachment-related issues. Practical goals and brief tools are offered alongside deeper emotional work when needed.

Yasmeen works in English and Urdu, which can help people express sensitive material in the language they prefer. She has three years of professional experience and sees international clients from the United Kingdom. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. The therapist offers acceptance and gentle guidance so people can find their own answers; this helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical tasks and thought‑checking exercises. It helps with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving clear steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match those needs. That process is collaborative and can change as you make progress.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments and make it simpler to have regular sessions. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often work this way to help people maintain continuity of care while juggling everyday responsibilities.
