“Feelings have their own kind of wisdom”
Nancy McWilliams
Are you wondering about patterns that are impacting your life or holding you back?
Perhaps you feel lost, isolated, or misunderstood and want to find clarity and understanding?
Or maybe you are curious to discover more about who you are and what you really desire for your life?
Yasmeen Brett BA PG-Dip Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist.
Whatever brings you to therapy, having the space and time to process and discover yourself can bring about real change and create paths towards a more integrated sense of self.
I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I offer tailored, integrative therapy that is deeply responsive to you and your individuality.
Whether you have navigated an unconventional life or are seeking to break old cycles, we will work together with creativity and compassion to make meaningful change.
I offer a space to explore your unique experiences, discover new ways of being more yourself, and ultimately make sense of who you are and what you want for your life.
I often work in the following areas…
Relationships – with self and others
Depression
Anxiety
GSRD – Gender, sexuality & Relationship Diversity
Persistent difficult thoughts & feelings
Students
Neurodiversity
LGBTQAI+
Identity
Life transitions
Perimenopause & menopause
Abuse
Artists & Creatives
Self-Criticism & Shame
Chronic illness
Midlife challenges
Grief & Loss
Self-Esteem & Confidence
…and the intersectionality that lives in between
My Approach
My approach is tailored, relational and responsive, providing a compassionate environment where you can explore your unique lived experience. A place where you can discover more about how you relate to yourself, others and the world around you.
I work with the challenges and complexity of what it means to be human; embracing our messy contradictions, considering our unspoken desires and understanding how our past influences who we are today.
With over 20 years of experience in theatre, education and the arts, I bring a creative and dynamic perspective to my integrative psychotherapy practice. I recognise the profound impact that culture, community and social structures have on our lives. I am deeply committed to social justice, striving to create inclusive spaces where you can feel truly seen.
Psychotherapy Style
I am a fully qualified Integrative Psychotherapist, specialising in Psychodynamic and Person-Centred approaches, while also incorporating IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Creative Practices.
I usually offer open-ended and longer-term therapy so we can take the time and space needed to work through in a detailed and meaningful way, to create sustainable and deep changes. However, I can also offer shorter-term work; therapy needs to work for you and your life, and this can mean different things at different times. We can discuss this in our free 30-minute consultation.
Qualifications, Training & Experience
I hold a level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling from the University of Westminster, which is GSRD-accredited with Pink Therapy.
I have also completed an introduction to Drama Therapy at Roehampton University and training in Relational Models, Queering Psychotherapy, Anti-Oppressive Practice, Sex & Relationships, Neuroscience in Therapy, Creativity in Wellbeing and Inner-Child work.
As well as my private practice, I have experience working with the NHS Primary Care Network, offering patients longer-term integrated therapy options.
Ethical Framework
As a member of the BACP and NCPS, I uphold their stringent code of ethics, I am fully insured and registered with the ICO
