About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed offers straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or big life changes. He welcomes conversations about relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and worries about self-esteem. Yunus uses plain language and steady support to help people talk through what matters most right now.
He trained with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP.
Background and approach
He has worked in community mental health roles and launched a counselling service in Bolton in 2007. That practical background shapes how he approaches sessions. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of him rather than one fixed method.
The Rogerian ideas of empathy, unconditional positive regard and genuineness are central to his way of working. He also brings tools from cognitive and solution-focused approaches when they fit the issue being discussed. Yunus has around 21 years of experience supporting people through trauma and abuse, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and coping after disasters.
He also pays attention to adoption and foster care matters, parenting stress, and some personality-related difficulties as listed in his profile. He offers appointments in English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu and accepts international clients. People can expect calm, practical conversations that aim to make coping feel more manageable and clear next steps more achievable.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Yunus uses a person-centred foundation alongside cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and accepting the person without judgement, which helps people feel heard and able to explore difficult feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and introduces practical ways to try different responses. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused work emphasises small, achievable steps and what is already working, which can speed up practical change when life feels stuck.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and the therapist will work with the client to agree what feels best. That means discussing goals, trying methods and adjusting plans together so sessions match needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions despite travel, work or caring commitments.
