About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed offers calm, practical help for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. He welcomes conversations about relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, addictions and issues around intimacy. Sessions are simple and direct, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.
He trained with a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Over 21 years he has worked in community mental health and set up a counselling service in Bolton in 2007.
Background and approach
He brings long experience supporting people from varied backgrounds. In therapy he draws on client-centred principles. That means listening without judgement, and helping people find their own answers.
He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thought patterns that worsen mood and to try practical alternatives. He adapts the work to each person rather than sticking to a single formula. For some people this looks like brief, goal-focused sessions; for others it involves gentler exploration of difficult experiences and trauma.
He integrates awareness of faith and cultural background when it matters to the person in front of him. Yunus works in English and also speaks Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu. He accepts international clients for online work and aims to make sessions fit around busy lives.
If someone wants straightforward, respectful support, he helps them map a clear way forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and discovers their own solutions. This helps when someone needs a compassionate listener to make sense of stress, relationships or parenting pressures.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour. Online CBT often uses brief exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide whether to focus on exploring experiences, building coping skills, or setting short-term goals.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations and suit deeper work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is tiring. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving and when a shorter format fits around work or family life.
Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats to match a person's life, making therapy accessible even when schedules are tight or travel isn’t possible.
