About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 21 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem and related issues. He speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu and accepts international clients.
He trained with a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and sits with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Early in his career he worked as a Mental Health Community Development Worker and later founded a counselling service in Bolton in 2007.
His practice draws on an eclectic mix of methods rather than a single technique. He often starts from a client-centred Rogerian stance that emphasises unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness. He combines that with cognitive behavioural ideas, solution-focused steps and trauma-focused ways of working when these suit the person.
For some Muslim clients he brings in fundamental Islamic values as part of how he frames conversations. He does not use one fixed approach for everyone and prefers to agree a way forward with each person. He has also done mediation work between parents and extended family members.
His background includes an award in national mental health recognition in 2019. People who want to manage anger that affects relationships or work often come for practical tools, clearer communication and help sorting out what to do next.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, respect and honest feedback. The therapist uses this to help someone feel heard and to identify what they want to change, which is useful when anger affects relationships or self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools for unpicking triggers, trying different responses and reducing repeated patterns of frustration at work or home.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, clear steps. It concentrates on what works now and on building on existing strengths to manage specific problems like workplace anger or conflict with a family member.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods in session and agree what feels most useful. That means sessions can change as progress is made or new issues appear.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use those practical benefits to help people keep continuity of support while working on anger and related concerns.
