Yasmin Haq

I currently have availability throughout the week and offer appointments on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I aim to provide flexibility, so we can arrange sessions at a day and time that suits us both.

I’ve recently opened my own practice and am delighted to now be welcoming new clients into my dedicated office space. This is an exciting new chapter, and I’m pleased to be able to offer a range of appointment options to suit different schedules.

If you’d like to discuss availability or find a time that works best for you, please feel free to get in touch — I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs.

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.

I have experience working with trauma, complex needs and neurodiversity. I have worked in the education sector, and currently work with victims who have been sexually assaulted or raped. I provide one to one counselling, creating a safe space where you can be yourself without judgement. I work with individuals of all backgrounds, beliefs, ages, gender and presentations. Specialist in the BAME community,

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and therapist, and a registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´, offering both online and in-person sessions for children, teenagers, and adults. I hold an Advanced Specialist Training in Counselling Children and Young People (CPCAB Level 5 Certificate) and a TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Self-harm and Suicide Awareness and Prevention.

My approach is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I will walk alongside you with empathy and understanding, providing a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard.

I have supported many clients through a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, abuse, trauma, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, work-related stress, low self-esteem, grief and loss, anger management, OCD, PTSD, BPD, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and personal growth.

With extensive experience gained over many years and client hours, I work with individuals to explore their challenges and help them build confidence in expressing their needs, understanding boundaries, and developing resilience and self-awareness.

When working with children and young people, I recognise the importance of trust, patience, and creativity. Every child and teenager wants to feel heard and understood, and I adapt my approach to meet their individual needs. If communication feels difficult, I use creative or integrative techniques to help them express themselves in ways that feel safe and natural.

Each session is guided by what feels most helpful for you in that moment, allowing the therapy to move at your own pace and in the direction that feels right for you.

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, so I offer a free 30-minute consultation to help you decide if I’m the right counsellor for you. This is an informal chat where we can talk through what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’d like to get from it, and how we might work together. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and get a feel for the process before committing to regular sessions.

If you decide to continue, each counselling session lasts 50 minutes and takes place weekly, either online or in person, on a mutually agreed day and time. The fee for each session is £50 for adults and £60 for children or young people (under 18).

In our first full session, we’ll spend some time exploring what has brought you here and what you hope to gain from counselling. I’ll explain how I work, discuss confidentiality, and ensure you feel comfortable with the pace and direction of our sessions.

For younger clients, I also take time to liaise with parents or carers as needed to support the therapeutic process and create a consistent understanding of the work we’re doing. My aim is always to make the first session feel safe, supportive, and focused on your individual needs.
