Yunus Mohamed

Yunus Mohamed helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He offers calm, straightforward support for a wide range of concerns. He aims to make talking about difficult things feel more manageable and practical.

Yunus 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). He began working in community mental health and later founded BCOM Counselling in Bolton in 2007. Over two decades he has supported people through relationship problems, anger, addictions and bereavement.

His work draws on client-centred ideas that focus on empathy, acceptance and genuineness. He uses a mix of methods rather than one single model, adapting sessions to what each person needs. He also integrates core Islamic values for Muslim clients when that is helpful.

He has used cognitive and solution-focused techniques alongside trauma-informed methods when appropriate. This lets him balance short-term practical goals with deeper emotional work. He has received a National Mental Health Award in 2019 for his contributions to community work.

Sessions are delivered in English and in Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu. International clients can be supported. Before booking, confirm the session formats that suit your situation and schedule.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on warm listening, acceptance and understanding. It helps people find clarity by being heard without judgement and is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses short, practical steps to change unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, depression and stress management.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and what already works in a person's life. It is often helpful when people want focused progress on specific issues such as coping with life changes or managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be done together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, preferences and goals and suggest methods that fit the work you want to do. That decision stays flexible and can change as you progress.

If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm what formats are offered before booking. This profile does not list specific session types, so checking available options helps you plan. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still using the same therapeutic tools as face-to-face work. Registered and accredited professionals can often adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions.
