About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and a wide range of life challenges. He speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu, which can help when discussing sensitive topics in a familiar language. He holds BACP membership, which is listed among his credentials.
He trained with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford. He has more than two decades of experience in community mental health work and established a counselling service in Bolton in 2007. He also received a National Mental Health Award in 2019.
His work draws on the Rogerian ideas of unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness. He combines Client-Centred Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. He also uses trauma-focused methods when people bring experiences of abuse or loss.
Yunus aims to tailor sessions to each person rather than follow a single method for everyone. For Muslim clients he can bring in fundamental Islamic values where that feels helpful. He has experience supporting people with grief, addictions, parenting strain and identity concerns, among many other issues.
Sessions are described in clear, down-to-earth terms so people know what to expect. Prospective clients can use the site process to match and schedule, and confirm session details directly when they begin.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and being understood; online conversations can still provide space to be heard and to build trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises; this can work well through discussion and short tasks between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing events in a careful way and can include grounding and pacing techniques suitable for remote conversations.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels safe for you, then adjust methods over time. If an approach is not helping, it can be changed or combined with other techniques to better meet your needs.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel needs. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or evening appointments when daytime is full. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking to know whether video or phone sessions are available. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to reach international clients and to help therapy fit into everyday life.
