Yunus Mohamed, BACP

Yunus Mohamed welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. He offers straightforward help for everyday struggles such as anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship strain and parenting pressures. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can try between meetings.

He trained at the University of Salford and holds a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling. He is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has worked in community mental health and in private practice since 2007.

Over two decades of practice have included supporting people with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and eating concerns. He also has experience with blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and situations involving separation and domestic violence. He uses everyday language and direct discussion to help people clarify what matters to them.

His counselling draws on the Rogerian tradition of unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness, mixed with practical approaches that match each person. He believes no single method fits everyone and adapts sessions to the person in front of him.

Yunus can work in English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu, and he has experience helping people from diverse cultural backgrounds. If someone prefers to begin by explaining their immediate concern, he encourages a short initial conversation to see if his way of working feels like the right fit.

How online sessions use practical counselling approaches

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and respect, helping people feel heard and understood so they can make choices that suit them. It is useful for sorting out relationship strain, low self-esteem and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions affect each other and teaches simple techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and managing stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and travel, and can allow for shorter check-ins or sessions without video when needed. Registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to offer people practical ways to work on thoughts and everyday habits without lengthy disruption to daily routines.
