Yasaman Ansari Tari, BACP

Many people come to therapy after noticing repeating patterns in relationships, persistent self-doubt, or familiar ways of responding to stress that no longer serve them. She works with clients who feel caught between the life they are living and the life that would reflect their true values and aspirations, helping to make sense of the confusion and frustration that can arise when familiar patterns keep resurfacing.

Yasaman Ansari Tari explores how coping strategies formed in earlier life can calcify into an ‘‘old story’’ or identity that shapes beliefs about worth, entitlement, and possibility. Through psychodynamic work she helps clients trace the roots of people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, low self-worth, and recurring relationship conflicts, paying attention to attachment patterns and formative experiences that continue to influence adult life.

She often works with thoughtful, self-aware individuals who sense they are capable of more yet find themselves repeating the same dynamics. Some clients also bring questions about identity, culture, or faith when they feel pulled between different expectations or versions of themselves. Alongside psychodynamic exploration, she sometimes integrates coaching techniques to support practical change in the present, such as developing healthier habits, building confidence, improving relationship dynamics, and working toward goals related to wellbeing, career, and life direction.

She holds the BACP credential, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and uses a curious, compassionate approach to help clients understand old patterns and begin creating meaningful change.

Approaches Yasaman Uses and How Online Therapy Supports Them

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on exploring how early experiences and attachment patterns continue to shape current feelings, relationships, and self-worth. It helps people uncover unconscious patterns and the origins of recurring conflicts so they can make more conscious choices about their lives.

Solution-Focused Therapy is more future-oriented and practical, concentrating on strengths, immediate goals, and small, achievable steps to create change. It can be useful for clients who want targeted strategies for improving relationships, confidence, or day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Yasaman works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend longer-term exploration with concrete coaching-style work when appropriate.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into working days or travel, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change with a registered professional.
