About Yasaman

Yasaman Ansari Tari is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck in repeating patterns in relationships, self-doubt, stress responses, or life choices. Many clients come with concerns about anxiety, depression, family problems, intimacy issues, and coping with change.

She explains that patterns which once helped people cope can become an 'old story' that limits current life. In sessions she helps people identify how those patterns formed. That often includes looking at early attachment experiences and family of origin issues.

Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas to trace the roots of recurring behaviour. She also uses client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. When clients want practical forward movement she brings in solution-focused and coaching elements to set achievable steps.

Typical topics include relationship conflicts, boundaries, self-esteem, abandonment or attachment difficulties, and navigating cultural or identity questions. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, infertility-related distress, grief about separation, and career or life-purpose questions.

Sessions aim to help people make sense of old patterns and take small, manageable actions toward different outcomes. Yasaman works collaboratively, helping clients weigh what understanding the past offers and what concrete changes they want to try now.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences shape repeating patterns in relationships and self-view. Online sessions can use this approach to reflect on attachment, family of origin issues, and recurring behaviour so clients can understand why they react as they do.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and what matters most to them now. In online sessions this means the counsellor follows the client's concerns, listens closely, and helps prioritise topics the client wants to address in the moment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods best support understanding the past or making practical changes. That decision is revisited as needs shift.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting work around family and job commitments and avoiding travel time. If you need to plan for a shorter check-in, a quieter time in your day, or a series of goal-focused sessions, discuss those preferences when you book. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know what will suit your routine.
