About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed is a counsellor with 21 years of experience who focuses on men's wellbeing among a broad range of concerns. He offers straightforward, practical conversations aimed at easing stress, anxiety and life transitions. Sessions are led at a pace set by the person attending and start with what matters most right now.
He trained with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His approach draws on core Rogerian ideas such as unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness. He combines these with techniques from cognitive and solution-focused methods when they fit the client's goals.
Yunus has worked in community mental health roles and founded BCOM Counselling in Bolton in 2007. That practical background includes mediation work between family members and supporting people through anger, relationship problems and other stresses.
He adapts sessions to the person in front of him and does not rely on a single method. For some people that means using trauma-informed ideas to help process painful events. For others it means short-term, goal-focused work to build coping tools and change patterns of thinking.
Yunus speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu, and he accepts clients based in other countries. He was recognised with a National Mental Health Award in 2019.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions following this approach centre on being heard and understood, then working together to set helpful next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Delivered remotely, CBT can help with anxiety, depression and unhelpful patterns by teaching practical exercises and ways to test new ways of thinking.
Many people appreciate a solution-focused stance when they want shorter-term change. This approach spotlights goals and small, manageable steps that make daily life easier.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can fit into busy lives by reducing travel and allowing more flexible scheduling, and some formats make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to avoid being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and homework tasks so remote counselling feels practical and useful.
