About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 21 years of experience. He works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and related concerns. He also lists support for intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, coping with life changes and ADHD.
Yunus trained with a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and has worked in community mental health roles. He founded the BCOM Counselling service in Bolton in 2007 and has supported clients from many backgrounds since then. His practice has included mediation between parents, offspring and extended family members.
His counselling draws on client-centred principles originating with Carl Rogers, emphasising genuineness, empathy and unconditional positive regard in conversation. He describes using an eclectic mix of methods rather than relying on one single technique. Cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused steps are commonly part of sessions when they suit the issue at hand.
Yunus also includes trauma-focused work when people bring histories of abuse or other traumatic events. He notes that for some Muslim clients, fundamental Islamic values inform how they want to approach counselling. That perspective can be woven into the work when clients ask for it.
He has been recognised with a National Mental Health Award in 2019. Sessions and next steps are organised through the platform's booking flow and matching questionnaire.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy places the person's perspective at the heart of sessions, encouraging open conversation and working at the client's pace. It helps when someone needs a steady, person-focused conversation about anxiety, relationships or coping with change.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT can include practical steps and short exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours between sessions. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and clear goals that can be reviewed each meeting.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree how to proceed. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made or new concerns arise.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to work with someone who speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi or Urdu, and to arrange appointments across locations for international clients.
