About me and my therapy practice

Supporting Neurodivergent Individuals

I help neurodivergent individuals nurture emotional regulation skills, empowering them to communicate more effectively and advocate for their unique needs with confidence.

By creating a safe and inclusive space, I tailor my approach to honor your strengths, challenges, and experiences. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies to enhance self-awareness, manage emotions, and build resilience, helping you navigate relationships, work, and life with greater ease.

If you’re ready to embrace your neurodivergence as a source of strength and develop the tools to thrive, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s start this journey together.

Practice description

I specialise in supporting neurodivergent individuals to develop emotional regulation skills that enhance communication and empower them to advocate for their needs confidently. 

My practice is rooted in empathy, inclusivity, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges of neurodivergence, informed by my own lived experience.

Why Focus on Communication and Emotional Regulation?

Effective communication fosters understanding, reduces conflict, and helps you express yourself authentically, ensuring your needs are met. Emotional regulation is key to managing triggers and engaging with others confidently and effectively.

How I Can Help You

In our sessions, I incorporate visual tools and psychoeducation to provide practical strategies that help you:

  • Build confidence in expressing thoughts and feelings.
  • Navigate difficult conversations with clarity and empathy.
  • Improve listening skills for better mutual understanding.
  • Manage emotional triggers and regulate your nervous system.

What to Expect

Our work together is collaborative and tailored to your unique strengths and challenges. Using creative, accessible approaches, I’ll help you uncover practical techniques and mindset shifts to connect effectively, advocate for your needs, and thrive.

Lived Experience

My insights are enriched by personal experiences, including:

  • ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia.
  • Surviving childhood parental loss and bereavement by suicide.
  • Navigating interfaith and cultural relationships.

If you’re ready to grow and enhance your communication skills, let’s begin this journey together. Reach out today to get started!

It’s normal to feel a bit nervous - it’s like meeting someone new. This session is about getting to know you, though we can dive straight into your concerns if that’s your preference.

If the internet disconnects, I’ll call you using the contact number you provided.

If your battery charge is lost, I’ll wait on Zoom until the session end time. If you’re unable to log back on, I’ll follow up with an email.

Practice description

How Can I Support You?

Are you looking for less stress in your life? In your relationships with loved ones? Yourself or others? Do you wish you could communicate better with those that matter? Maybe putting emotional regulation skills into practice is difficult for you?

Or do you feel heartbroken due to a break up or loss? Perhaps due to trauma or addiction your relationship with past experiences stand in the way of living life to its fullest potential?

Maybe due to anxiety or anger it feels your life is spiralling out of control? And you aren’t sure what to do next? Who to speak to? Trust? If you feel stuck, lost or in pain – I am here to offer non-judgemental and compassionate support so that together we can create positive changes in your life.

I’m Yasmin Shaheen-Zaffar (She/Her) an online neurodivergent trauma, addictions and relationship counsellor and coach accredited with the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ. I work with young people over the age of 16, emerging adults, students, adults and couples. 

I am also a parenting mentor working remotely online available across the U.K and Internationally. 

I hold the belief the way we relate to ourselves, our needs, others and the world is the key to a peaceful contented life. I am very much interested in relationships in all forms.

Being Neurodivergent

Personally I can fully empathise with the challenges it can bring - impulsivity and risk taking.

Understanding the disorganisation and overwhelm - whether it's the constant searching for keys,  unpaid parking fines or always apologising. Bringing you close to losing control. I can't "cure" your learning differences but I can hold a safe space for you to work through the stress & help you put support systems in place to reduce the stress in your life.

Health Insurance

I work with a number of health insurance companies and accept AXA, BUPA and Vitality

Before Your First Session
