About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and other life challenges. He aims to make conversations straightforward and practical so clients can begin to feel more able to cope. Yunus speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu and brings 21 years of counselling experience to sessions.
He trained with a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP. Early work included community development in mental health, and he founded a counselling service in Bolton in 2007. He also won a National Mental Health Award in 2019.
In practice he draws on client-centred ideas such as unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness. He mixes those with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies to help people tackle specific problems. He also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when needed. Yunus seeks to understand each person’s situation and then work together on manageable steps. He also pays attention to cultural and faith-based perspectives when these matter to the person in front of him.
People often come with grief, addictions, parenting stress, career uncertainty or worries about self-esteem. He also supports clients coping with natural or human-caused disasters and related disruption. Prospective clients are encouraged to ask about languages or specific concerns when booking.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building trust so people can speak openly about their difficulties. Online or remote conversations follow the same idea - the counsellor aims to offer understanding and to reflect what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT often includes short tasks between sessions and clear steps to try in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. He will consider the person’s goals, background and what feels most helpful, and then agree a plan that can be adjusted over time. The emphasis is on collaboration and small, achievable changes.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote counselling because it can fit around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that work around family routines. Discuss practical arrangements when you book so sessions can fit into your everyday life.
