About me
Hi, I'm Jasmin, a CBT therapist based in the UK with experience working with a wide range of mental health difficulties. I work with adults who are struggling with the impact that anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, and difficult life experiences can have on everyday life.
I trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and draw on elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) where helpful. I also have experience working with depression, OCD, phobias, panic disorder, social anxiety, and trauma.
I believe that therapy doesn't have to feel clinical or intimidating. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence, but I also think there's real value in a therapist who shows up as a human being rather than a blank slate. Sessions with me tend to feel more like a conversation than a consultation, and I'll always work at a pace that feels right for you.
How I Work
We'll start with a free 15 minute introductory call so you can get a feel for how I work and ask any questions before committing to anything. From there, we'll work together to understand what's brought you to therapy, what you'd like to get from it, and how to get you there.
CBT is a practical, structured approach that focuses on the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It's collaborative, skills based, and designed to give you tools you can actually use beyond the therapy room, not just strategies that work in a session and nowhere else.
Who I Work With
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties including:
Anxiety and worry, low mood and depression, burnout and exhaustion, low self-esteem and confidence, perfectionism, people pleasing, panic disorder, social anxiety, OCD, phobias, and trauma.
I offer both short term and longer term therapy depending on what you need, and sessions are available online and in person.
Taking the First Step
I know reaching out isn't always easy, and I want you to know there's no pressure at all. If you're curious about whether therapy might help, the best place to start is just a conversation. Feel free to get in touch and we can go from there.
Training, qualifications & experience
I've worked in mental health for nine years, spending the last two as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT).
My training has equipped me with the clinical skills to treat anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, depression, trauma, and more, but what actually shapes how I work is this:
These struggles aren't character flaws. They're patterns that made sense once but don't serve you anymore.
My Qualifications:
BSc Psychology with Criminology – Nottingham Trent University
PGCert Advanced Practice in Psychological Wellbeing – University of Surrey
PGDip Psychological Therapies (CBT) – Canterbury Christ Church University
My Experience:
Over nine years, I've supported adults struggling with:
Perfectionism and high-functioning anxiety ,the kind where you look successful but feel like you're drowning
Imposter syndrome and self-doubt, achieving things but feeling like a fraud
People-pleasing and boundary issues, saying yes when you mean no because disappointing people feels dangerous
Overthinking and harsh self-criticism, replaying conversations, checking work obsessively, brutal inner critic
Low self-esteem and "not enough" feelings, worth that feels conditional on achievement or approval
Trauma and PTSD , working with individuals who've experienced single-incident trauma, complex trauma, or ongoing hypervigilance that keeps the nervous system stuck in threat mode
I also have experience with phobias, OCD, depression, and body dysmorphia.
Where I've Worked:
NHS talking therapies, charities, urgent care, and secure settings, which means I've supported people at different stages of their mental health journey.
I've worked with veterans, armed forces members, and emergency responders.
My Approach:
I draw primarily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), integrating Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when helpful.
Important Note:
I do not offer crisis support. If you are in crisis, please contact emergency services or your local crisis helpline.

Further information
What to Expect from Working with Me:
Our sessions will feel like conversations, not clinical interviews.
I bring warmth, directness, and clarity, you won't leave feeling more confused or overwhelmed.
My goal is that each session gives you something tangible: a new perspective, a tool you can actually use, or just a bit more breathing room.
I use CBT as my foundation, but our work goes deeper than surface-level coping strategies. We explore where your patterns came from, what they're protecting you from, and how to shift them at the root.
Who I Work Best With:
High-achieving women who look successful but feel like they're drowning privately
People who've read all the self-help books but still can't accept compliments, rest without guilt, or quiet their inner critic
Those tired of performing and ready to stop auditioning for their own lives
Anyone willing to look at uncomfortable truths to create real, lasting change (not just temporary relief)
How I Work:
Sessions: 50 minutes weekly (though we can discuss what suits you best)
Format: Face-to-face in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, or online via video call
Getting started: Free 15-minute consultation call to see if we're a good fit, no pressure, just a conversation
Important to Know:
You don't need to be in crisis to reach out.
You don't need to have tried everything else first.
You don't need to have it all figured out before we start.
If you're exhausted from trying to be perfect, that's reason enough.
If you're wondering "am I really struggling enough to need therapy?", that's your perfectionism talking.
You don't need to earn the right to feel better.
