Yunus Mohamed
Practical counselling for everyday challenges
About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He meets individuals who are worried about mood, relationship strain, anger, addiction or parenting pressures. Yunus writes in simple terms and aims to make sessions clear and manageable for busy lives.
He trained with a Bachelor of Science with 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
Yunus has spent over two decades in counselling roles, including work as a mental health community development worker and founding a counselling service in Bolton in 2007. His practice builds on a client-centred foundation, emphasising empathy, respect and a non-judgemental attitude.
He draws on solution-focused ideas to create short-term goals and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns that keep problems alive. Trauma-informed methods are available when past harm shapes current difficulties, and he adapts his way of working to suit each person rather than following a single formula.
He also pays attention to cultural and faith perspectives when relevant to the person in front of him. Yunus brings a practical, problem-solving focus to sessions while keeping space for feelings and personal values. He aims to help people build small, steady changes they can use outside sessions.
He speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How his approaches work online
Yunus combines a client-centred approach with cognitive behavioural therapy in online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and listening to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and to explore values and choices in their own words. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.He also draws on solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. These methods look for what is already working and build on it, which can be helpful when time is limited or when someone wants clear steps to try between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together - the therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on a person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and live chat or messaging lets people check in without a set appointment length. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caring duties and everyday life.
