Yasmine Najib:

Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist (BACP)

Hello, my name is Yasmine Najib (she/her), and I am an experienced integrative counsellor and psychotherapist working at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

Starting therapy for the first time or returning during a challenging period in your life can feel daunting. Having undergone personal therapy myself as part of my three-year master’s training, I understand the courage it takes to begin this journey.

I am here to guide you and provide assurance that you’re not alone in whatever you’re thinking and feeling at this moment.

My aim is to create a welcoming weekly space that is yours to use however you need, recognising that it takes time to understand what we’re feeling and why; to process our experiences; to see our patterns of behaviour; and to reframe our thoughts.

I provide warm, collaborative, and inclusive therapy for adults, with a particular focus on relational issues, early attachment, anxiety, depression, stress, identity issues, self-esteem, confidence building, women’s issues, and work-related concerns.

My integrative style combines psychodynamic and person-centred practices. This means exploring how your current feelings and behaviours are influenced by past experiences and unconscious impulses, while ensuring that the process is led by you, the expert in your own life, with my support alongside.

I also adopt a relational approach, attuning to your specific needs and using our therapeutic relationship as a means of achieving insight and growth. In our sessions, I offer a non-judgmental, safe, and contained environment where you can explore difficult emotions and experiences.

Together, we will work at your own pace towards self-understanding and meaningful change, with quarterly progress reviews to reflect on how you’re feeling and assess our work together.

I encourage the use of various materials in the therapy room—such as photographs, journal entries, art, and more—as a way to access emotions that may have been overlooked. As our relationship develops, I invite open discussions around these objects. Visual analogies and metaphors are also central to my work, helping to clarify thoughts and feelings that might otherwise seem unclear.

With a decade of experience in communications and public relations, I bring a unique perspective to my therapeutic practice, grounded in a deep understanding of human connection, empathy, and the power of effective listening. This background may particularly resonate with those in similar fields, offering a relatable and insightful therapeutic experience.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to high standards of professionalism, proficiency, and ethical practice.

I completed my MSc in Therapeutic Counselling at the University of Greenwich, where I developed a strong focus on integrating counselling theory with cultural and contextual awareness, equipping me to help you explore how external factors may be impacting your internal world.

Fees:
Sessions are priced at £75 per session. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs.
