Yunus Mohamed

Yunus Mohamed is a counsellor with two decades of experience helping people manage anger, stress and relationship strain. He speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu, and uses clear, practical language in sessions. He aims to make conversations straightforward and focused so people can start making changes sooner.

He trained for a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Professional Counselling at the University of Salford and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His early work included community mental health development before he set up the BCOM Counselling service in Bolton in 2007.

Yunus draws on an eclectic mix of approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all model. His background is rooted in the Rogerian tradition of unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness, and he adapts methods to suit each person’s needs. He has also used solution-focused techniques and trauma-informed ideas when they fit the situation.

He has handled a wide range of issues, including anxiety, grief, addiction, parenting stress, eating concerns, ADHD and intimate relationship difficulties. He also supports people affected by trauma and abuse and those navigating divorce or separation.

Yunus combines practical steps with calm listening. Conversations may include identifying patterns, trying small experiments between sessions and building clearer communication skills. He works with people from many backgrounds and accepts international clients.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and treating people with respect. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of strong feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, achievable steps and what is already working, which can help when someone needs quick, manageable changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try an approach and adjust it based on what helps most. This collaborative process means methods can be adapted as needs and preferences become clearer.

For practicalities, please confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which supports international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these ways of meeting to deliver the same structured exercises, listening and goal-setting that happen face to face.
