Therapy & Counselling
Hello,
I am Jasmin, a therapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I have an integrative approach. That means I adapt therapy to your needs and draw on different styles that fit your personal process.
I can work with you on a broad range of themes, and I have specialised expertise working with ADHD and autism (neurodiversity), identity and culture, body-mind connection, grief, and career challenges.
My practice is influenced by my non-linear background. I have lived and worked across Europe, the UK, the US, the Middle East and Asia, and am mixed-race. Prior to being a therapist, I was in tech, had stints at the UN and in public broadcasting. I also trained as a yoga teacher, in contemplative psychology and mindfulness.
I am based in London and work with Individuals & Couples, with Businesses & Teams, and offer Group Sessions.
How I can help.
A collaborative relationship where you are actively supported and have agency over your own development.
Personalised approach based on your needs and intentions for therapy, and with clarity, care and change in mind.
A balance of creative practices and structure, and of the sometimes elusive process of therapy alongside the desire for practical tools and progress.
Offering context as to how therapy works and sharing psychological knowledge.
I specialise in.
I can work with a broad range of people and themes, including with anxiety, trauma, burnout, depression, childhood, and relationships.
I draw from lived experience and specialised training, when working with,
neurodiversity, ADHD and autism
culture, identity & belonging
grief and bereavement
work challenges and career.
I apply a trauma-aware and neuroscientifically supported approach, working with the body-mind connection, and aiming for a nervous-system reset.
You may feel the effects of climate change, and of the social and political challenges of our times, and I can support you. I believe that the worlds we live in affect our mental health and shape who we become.

You may desire a change or may recognise the need to change, but feel unequipped, have previously struggled, or simply want professional support.
Most of therapy is about creating change. Simply put, this happens by making sense of your experiences, and then finding new ways. In reality, it’s often a less straightforward process, involving acceptance, sometimes grief, redefining what we want in alignment with new insights, questioning our realities, and acknowledging how change is entwined with the worlds we live in.
I try to create a supportive environment that changes for you and with your needs, shifting the idea that change is individual and one sided.

Therapy is often considered a space to meander, explore and reflect. While it is not the only thing happening, it can be a helpful practice for when you,
feel confused as to why you are seeking help,
can’t figure out what the problem is, or how to approach it,
need to make sense of your experiences,
need space to grieve,
need a space to be you.
Therapy can be of great support during the more bewildering times in your life and it can help you figure out a clearer direction.
-
We can work with possibilities, imagination, find new motivation and overcome creative blockages, for when you want to focus on growth, strengths and agency.
Therapy can be a practice of cultivating hope and freshness in our lives. I don’t believe in diagnosing what’s wrong, but that you are fundamentally OK as you are and that our work is about reconnecting you with your innate capacity for clarity, care and change.

When you feel stuck, indecisive or locked into repetitive patterns, psychotherapy can help uncovering what is underneath, and then find new ways forward.
It can help you decipher how you got there, and equip you with new capacity for clarity, care and change.

I am aware of how bewildering the sometimes elusive process of therapy can be, and I honour the desire for practical tools and clear progress.
I share context as to how therapy works and educate about therapeutic approaches as I apply them. This equips you with knowledge and agency over your own development.
I also offer tools that are loosely based on behavioural approaches which aim at practical change, drawing from Transactional Analysis, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
-
I work with the body-mind connection and so-called ‘right-brain’ approaches that centre a nervous-system reset, and can have subtle effects on a brain’s neuroplasticity. That can change how you think, feel, and behave.

Anxiety and panic attacks
Burnout and depression
Grief, bereavement and loss
Childhood and attachment
Culture and identity
Belonging
Relationships, love and sex
Career transitions
Interculturality and multi-linguality
Neurodiversity and ADHD
Climate change, environmental and political challenges

You may want to protect your purpose-driven business from troubled times that seem to inevitably impact your people’s emotional health. Or, you wonder why mental health comes at the cost of ‘working’.
Businesses often look to quickly resolve an issue, and to seek for solutions in coaching, emotional intelligence and resilience. These approaches are positive but, yet, no longer seem to be enough.
I consider wellbeing, culture and your organisation as interconnected and apply systems-thinking, psychology and neuroscientific insights.
This approach supports you in moving towards the issue, rather than trying to control it; it attends to interconnections, offers fresh perspective; and it frees up new resources to respond to the underlying, unmet needs in a flexible way.
