Tasmin Comanescu, BACP

Tasmin Comanescu is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with four years of professional counselling experience. She works with young people through a youth charity that supports people aged 11 to 25, and she brings practical experience helping others manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and depression.

Tasmin holds a certificate in online and telephone counselling and is experienced delivering support across a range of formats, including face-to-face meetings, video calls, telephone sessions, and text or message-based counselling. Her practice emphasises the strengths each person brings to change, recognising that the individual is the expert in their own life and that those strengths can be drawn on when working through difficult moments.

She describes the first step toward change as an act of courage and aims to support and empower people as they move toward a more fulfilled life. Tasmin seeks to create a collaborative space where practical strategies and personal insight come together to address current challenges and goals.

Evidence-informed approaches and online support

Tasmin offers a person-centered style of work that recognises the individual as the expert in their own life - this approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients explore their own goals and values. It is especially helpful for building self-esteem, confidence, and motivation.

She also uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on developing coping skills for stress, anxiety, and low mood. These skills-oriented strategies aim to help people manage day-to-day challenges and develop more helpful ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.

For experiences of grief, loss, and significant life changes she offers supportive counselling that helps people process emotions, make sense of transitions, and find ways to move forward at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tasmin treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision, adapting techniques to fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than following a fixed formula.

Online therapy makes it possible to meet by video call or phone, and to use live chat or text-based messaging when that suits daily life. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing therapy to fit into work, education, or family commitments while maintaining continuity of care with a registered professional.
