About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 21 years of experience. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and ADHD. He also helps people facing career pressures, low self-esteem and coping with major life changes.
Yunus trained with a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and spent part of his early career as a mental health community development worker. He founded the BCOM Counselling service in Bolton in 2007 and has run services supporting people from many different backgrounds.
In practice he draws on client-centred principles associated with Carl Rogers, focusing on acceptance and genuine listening as a foundation for work. He combines this with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies to address unhelpful thinking and to set practical goals.
He also includes trauma-focused methods when past harm is a central issue, and adapts his way of working to suit the person in front of him. For Muslim clients he may integrate Islamic values into sessions when that is helpful to the individual.
People can expect direct discussion about problems, practical coping options and steps to try between sessions. Yunus has experience mediating family tensions and supporting parents through relationship strain and blended family challenges.
How he uses different approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on acceptance and active listening. It helps people feel understood and begin to make sense of difficult feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.
