Yunus Mohamed works with adults who are worried by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and life changes. He offers straightforward support for issues such as trauma, grief, addictions, parenting strains and concerns about intimacy or self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu.

He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He trained at the University of Salford, gaining a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling.

Background and approach

He has more than two decades of counselling experience and previously worked as a mental health community development worker. In 2007 he founded a counselling service in Bolton and has worked in both one-to-one support and community settings. Yunus draws on a client-centred foundation that emphasises empathy, acceptance and genuineness in sessions.

He uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going. He also uses solution-focused techniques to set practical goals and trauma-informed methods when past harm affects daily life. He works in a direct, plain-speaking way and aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable.

A faith-sensitive option is available for Muslim clients who want values acknowledged in their work together. He believes the approach should be matched to each person rather than sticking to one method. People can expect support that covers a wide set of concerns including parenting, adoption and foster care issues, grief, anger, and coping after disasters or separation.

His experience spans community projects and independent practice over many years. Sessions can be arranged online in different formats and are suitable for those seeking help from outside the local area.

Online approaches that focus on listening and practical change

Yunus commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy involves being listened to without judgement so the person can make sense of their feelings; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small changes to break unhelpful cycles, which can help with worry, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences and preferences, then agree collaboratively which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, written reflections and day-to-day support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to use therapy around other commitments.
