Yasser Saffar

Hi there,

I'm Yasser and I'm a Â鶹ԭ´´ qualified Coach-Therapist.

That means I'm here to help:

• Whether you're looking for profound insights, effective coping strategies, or deep personal-awareness and healing, from counselling. I’m here for you.
• If you're aiming for a rich and thriving personal, professional, or creative transformation through coaching, let's make it happen together.
• Or, if you want to combine the best of both worlds, moving from deep personal-awareness to enhanced purpose, meaning, life-transformation, and self-actualisation through Personal Consulting, we can do this together.

I can’t do the work for you, but I’ll be with you every step of the way: providing direction, insights, constructive challenge, and self-empowerment to achieve your goals, discover meaning, purpose, and fulfilment.

A Bit About Me:

I’m a Â鶹ԭ´´ certified counsellor and coach, which means I’m a trained and fully qualified coach-therapist. I combine the best of both worlds: I won’t just listen—I’ll ask questions and provide constructive challenge, empathic support, and strategies and methods to work with you to achieve your goals.

Whether it’s coping through difficult times and making sense of the past or present, or cultivating a rich, meaningful, and purposeful future, my experience and training are here to help you find insights, design a way forward, and craft the life you want.

My Approach is Holistic and Dynamic:

​I don’ t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person is different, and their life experiences are different. What you might want to get out of your sessions is different too. So I draw on multiple approaches to craft sessions that are specifically tailored for you.

• Integrative Counselling: I am trained in multiple counselling approaches and integrate them, where relevant, to your specific objectives.
• Coaching & Personal Consulting: I am also a qualified coach and can combine this with counselling to provide, not just understanding, but work with you to achieve life transformation and personal goals too.
• Philosophical Background: I have a degree in philosophy, which enriches my practice with critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and logical problem-solving skills. I also draw on Stoic and Existentialist philosophies to explore meaning, detached mindfulness, and emotional resilience in sessions.
• Project Management Expertise: With nearly 15 years of experience as a project manager at a Big Four management consultancy firm, I bring strategic planning, personal change management, and goal attainment techniques into our work together.
• Eastern Thought & Wisdom: Having practiced and taught Martial Arts at a high level for nearly 25 years, I often draw on Eastern thought and wisdom, including mindfulness and present-awareness practices, Mushin, Kaizen, Wu Wei, and Wabi Sabi.
