Yasmin Shaheen-Zaffar. MBACP Relationship Counsellor Wetherby & North Leeds

About me

Want To Move Away From The Daily Drama, Fire Fighting And Self Sabotage Patterns Dominating Your Life? Move From Chaos Towards Calm? Are People, Issues Or Trauma From The Past Holding You Back? Is Your Present Tied To The Past? I Can Offer Support To Help You Move Forward .....

Hello I am Yasmin a Wetherby counsellor, working from my private practice in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

• My primary focus as a counsellor is to work with clients who want to enhance the quality of their lives. This can be achieved by raising awareness and making positive changes to the relationships in our lives. Relationships can include people ... your partner, family, friends, neighbours.

• But also the relationship we have with issues such as generalised anxiety disorder, panic attacks, phobias, family issues, depression, feeling sad, intimacy, career, self worth, confidence, food, anger, addiction, finance, alcohol, sex, drugs, depression or anxiety.

• Relationships can be stressful to deal with, especially when trying to work out acceptable boundaries or forgive or trying to repair damaged relationships.  Or when trying to remove destructive or risky, self harming ones out of our lives.

• Or perhaps you put others thoughts and feelings before your own? Knowing deep down this is not what you want? This can be a very lonely & isolating place to be in, where you may feel misunderstood or unable to move forward. These relationships are problematic if they are destructive or prevent us from enjoying life full.

• I am very interested in the many types of relationships we have and how they affect our everyday lives. The reality is we cannot avoid relationships. Problems with relationships in our lives can leave us feeling misunderstood, anxious, angry or depressed.

Doing Things a Different Way

I provide a safe, empathetic  space where you can explore your difficult feelings with the consideration they deserve.  You won't find me telling you what to do.  It's more about me supporting you in discovering your own understanding of your problems - with a new awareness.

The benefits of what I can offer you:

• support in a non-judgmental environment.
• help you to reflect and take stock of our emotions.
• accept you for you & understand you.
• the opportunity to speak to a professional in confidence.
• space to get some clarity and focus back into your life.
• to help you move on from traumatic life events
• to start to make much wanted and needed changes in behaviour patterns that limit your relationships & potential.
