Yasaman Ansari Tari, BACP

Yasaman Ansari Tari helps people who feel stuck by repeating the same relationship or life patterns. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. Yasaman uses clear, direct conversation to help people see what is getting in the way of the life they want.

She explains how earlier experiences can shape current behaviour and feelings. Those old coping patterns can become an unseen story that keeps repeating. In sessions she gently looks at where those patterns began and what keeps them going now.

Yasaman blends psychodynamic thinking with client-centred listening and practical, solution-focused steps. That means there is space to reflect on the past and to set small, achievable goals for the present. She may also bring trauma-focused ideas when past harm continues to affect day-to-day life.

People often come to Yasaman wanting both understanding and forward movement. Some seek help with attachment and abandonment anxieties, family-origin issues, codependency, or difficulties around commitment and infidelity. Others want support with body image, fertility stress, immigration challenges, guilt and shame, or finding greater life purpose.

With nine years of experience and British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, Yasaman offers a thoughtful, down-to-earth approach. Sessions aim to be practical and approachable, helping people build new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Yasaman’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers empathy, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can help with low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship worries.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early experiences shape present patterns. It helps people see repeating behaviours, such as people-pleasing or difficulty trusting, and understand where they came from. This can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns and long-standing relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. Yasaman will explore your goals, needs and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is flexible and can change as the work develops, with the therapist and client reviewing progress together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need brief, ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments without losing therapeutic continuity.
