Yasmine S.Sommers

As a therapist, my practice is grounded in my commitment to create a safe, confidential, secure and non-judgemental environment where my clients can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at a pace that feels right for them.

Creating space for inner experience enables us to trust in our own inner guidance, promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance, allowing us to consider new perspectives and new ways of being. These are essential elements for growth, and any transformative healing process

I possess a wealth of life experience and a strong desire to assist others. My ability to empathise, think creatively, collaborate effectively, and maintain self-awareness allows me to attuned to the needs of my clients by exhibit a non-judgemental attitude informed by a comprehensive understanding of intersectionality. 

Additionally, I have a particular interest in collaborating with clients who are neurodiverse.

I offer both short and long term therapy, following the first session, if you decide to continue I usually suggest a commitment to a minimum of 6 sessions initially.

Fees: 

£85 - On line 

£110 - In person

I possess a wealth of life experience and my strong desire to assist others is matched by my ability to empathise, think creatively, collaborate effectively, and maintain self-awareness. I have excellent active listening skills, am attuned to the needs of others, and exhibit a non-judgemental attitude informed by a comprehensive understanding of intersectionality. I also have a special interest in working with neurodiverse clientele. 

I am an integrative psychotherapist, which means I combine various therapeutic tools and approaches to serve the needs and goals of my client, and to help identify their core emotional difficulty. My approach is tailor-made for each client as I tune into their unique lived experience.

Additionally, I have a background in the financial and creative industries, thus I have an in-depth understanding of the specific challenges faced by individuals working in those fields.
