About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed is a counsellor with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and trauma. He speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu, and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. He aims to make sessions clear and practical so people can use what they learn straight away.
He trained with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
His early work included mental health community development and later founding a counselling service in Bolton in 2007. His way of working mixes several recognised approaches. He draws on client-centred principles - listening, empathy and respect - then adds structured tools from cognitive behavioural therapy when helpful.
He also uses trauma-focused methods and brief solution-focused techniques, choosing what fits each person’s situation. Yunus often works with issues linked to family life, parenting and relationship strains, and with people facing addiction, anger or self-esteem difficulties. He also supports people dealing with bereavement, life changes, eating concerns, ADHD and the long-term effects of abuse or disaster.
Sessions are designed to be straightforward and goal-aware. People can expect a calm, direct style that balances talking through problems with practical steps to try between sessions. He has a National Mental Health Award from 2019 and brings that experience into everyday support.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Yunus draws on trauma-focused therapy to help people process the effects of abuse, violence or other shocking events. That work looks at current reactions and practical ways to reduce distress so daily life feels more manageable. He also uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping clients make their own choices about change.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is another part of his approach. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns. These methods are used as needed rather than applied rigidly, and the therapist discusses options with each person to find the best fit.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk through goals, preferences and past experience and together choose methods that suit the person’s needs. Sessions can change over time as progress is made or different challenges emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and a conversational rhythm similar to face-to-face work. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for ongoing notes, quick reflections and staying connected between longer sessions. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, family and everyday life.
