About the Glad We Talked creator - Yasmin
I’m Yasmin Shaheen-Zaffar, a neurodivergent BACP accredited relationship and trauma therapist. I support neurodivergent and neurodivergent households simplify communication, strengthen connections, and understand how our nervous systems shape behaviour
My neuroinclusive programs and tools are accessible, practical and actionable so ultimately families can lead less stressful lives.
In January and February 2025, whilst recovering from illness and unable to leave my sofa (kinda feeling sorry for myself big time not gonna lie) I found myself reflecting on the many resources I’ve created over the years.
To make the most of that time, I began curating and organising them into what is now “The Glad We Talked” programs – designed to bring together my work in a way that’s structured, accessible, and easy to apply.
