accredited psychotherapist
Yasmin Salim
With over a decade of dedicated service in the mental health field, I have built an illustrious career as a qualified and registered counsellor, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner. Driven by a passion for helping individuals heal from emotional wounds, I have cultivated a wide-ranging skill set that includes working with diverse populations across multiple therapeutic settings. Through individualised therapy sessions, group facilitation, private practice, and multi-agency collaborations, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to deliver transformative change in the lives of both young people and adults.
Rooted in evidence-based practice, I take a trauma-informed approach to therapy. Specialising in treating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and complex trauma, I am highly regarded for creating a safe, trusting environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and rebuild their lives. This dedication to client well-being has been a hallmark of my practice, resulting in strong, lasting therapeutic outcomes.

Client Testimonials
"Yasmin should be on prescription. I would highly recommend her therapy services to anyone who wants to change their life for the better. With Yasmin you get her compassion plus years of experience and expertise during your sessions with her. And when you finish, you are still in safe hands as the tools Yasmin gives you enable you to live freely going forward. When I'm feeling overwhelmed I know to recall my learnings with Yasmin and my anxiety drops. I am so grateful to have met her."
"Can't thank Yasmin enough for how much she has helped me. She approached our sessions with the utmost care and eased me into stepping out of my comfort zone. She allowed me to take therapy at my own pace but ensured I was still making everyday improvements or was equipped with the techniques to do so."
"After experiencing a very traumatic family breakdown I found myself unable to cope with what had become of my life. Becoming increasingly desperate with my self destructive behaviour it was difficult for me to see a way back. Counselling and EMDR has helped me get back to where I want to be. EMDR in particular is helping contact some part of myself that can help fix me. Invaluable help Yasmin, Thanks."
