Tasmin Comanescu, BACP

Tasmin Comanescu is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who brings four years of professional experience to her work supporting young people. She currently practices with a youth charity, providing outreach and therapeutic support for clients aged 11 to 25, and has helped many individuals navigate stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low motivation, diminished self-esteem, and periods of depression.

Tasmin holds a certificate in online and telephone counselling and offers a variety of session formats, including face-to-face meetings, video and telephone counselling, as well as text and message-based support. Her familiarity with multiple delivery methods allows her to adapt to different communication preferences and life circumstances.

Grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Tasmin approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert in their own life and that existing strengths can be mobilized to meet current challenges. She frames the first step toward change as a courageous act and aims to support and empower clients as they work toward more fulfilled and resilient lives.

Evidence-based approaches for flexible online therapy

Tasmin uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and collaborative exploration. One approach emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves learning tools to reframe thinking and gradually re-engage with valued activities, which can help with depression, stress, and motivation challenges. Another approach centers on building coping strategies and emotional awareness through structured, skills-based work and reflective conversation, supporting clients dealing with grief, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, and responses to trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and happens together with the client. Tasmin works collaboratively to understand each person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts methods to fit their needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or elsewhere, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful while working toward personal goals with a licensed professional.
