Yasmin Kermali

MBACP Accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor

I believe that counselling is a space for you to explore, heal, and grow without judgment or expectation.

My approach is built on congruence, acceptance, and empowerment, helping you reconnect with yourself, develop self-confidence, and create meaningful change in your life.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your path, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to support you in uncovering your strengths and finding a way forward that feels right for you.

My Story: Why I Became a Counsellor

For much of my life, I struggled with self-doubt and low self-esteem. Fear of failure, disappointing others, and stepping into my full potential shaped many of my decisions. Through counselling, I learned to be honest with myself, recognise unhelpful patterns, and develop healthy boundaries, allowing me to step into a more confident, authentic version of myself.

This transformation led me to retrain as a counsellor after a career in property management, where I found fulfillment in building relationships and supporting others. I chose an integrative approach that adapts to each client’s unique needs, with our therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work together.

Now, as a BACP-accredited counsellor, I use both my lived experience and professional training to help others break free from self-doubt, heal from the past, and build a life that aligns with their true self.

Why work with me?

1

Self-choice

You have the right to make your own decisions for your own life and therefore I will not be advising you or telling you what to do.

Counselling is about your needs.

We can work together to come to an understanding of what you want from counselling and what you feel you would like to change, in order to make you feel healthier and happier, in your life.

2

Respect

You have the right to be heard and seen and therefore I aim to truly listen to what it is you want and have to say.

Counselling is about what you want/need to say.

We can work together so that the session is based around you and your agenda, what you would like to talk about and what you want to gain from the sessions

3

Acceptance

You have been through a unique journey in your own life which has impacted you in ways only you can experience and therefore I accept you and your feelings as valid without any conditions.

​Counselling is about what you feel about your experiences.

We can work together to explore what your life experiences are and how they have impacted you as a unique individual.

Let’s start this journey together

Whether you’re seeking therapy, supervision, or just a space to explore your thoughts, I’m here to help.
