Fadumo Mohamed, BACP

Fadumo Mohamed is a counsellor with 26 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and trauma. She works with people affected by sexual or physical abuse, war-related trauma, natural disaster, and PTSD. She also offers help around immigration issues, adoption and foster care, postpartum depression, and questions linked to gender and sexuality.

Fadumo believes people are the experts on their own lives and brings a respectful, steady presence to sessions. She encourages gentle honesty and practical steps that fit daily life. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make that first move easier and less daunting.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused work looks at patterns in close relationships and feelings that drive actions. Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing is offered for people who have distressing trauma memories and want a structured way to work through them.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Expect reflections, guided exercises and simple practices to use between meetings. Fadumo tailors the pace and tools to what a person needs right now rather than following a fixed script.

She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are available in English, Arabic and Somali, and international clients may be seen. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online with this counsellor

Fadumo uses several practical methods that translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps towards those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce struggle with painful thoughts and to increase meaningful action.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in close relationships. It helps people name core feelings and change unhelpful interaction cycles so relationships feel safer and more connected. Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to process distressing memories and reduce their intensity for people affected by trauma.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to initial techniques. Together you will choose or blend methods that match what matters most to you and what feels manageable.

If you want online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work and family life, or helpful when they cannot travel. Remote meetings also allow for shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and continuing therapy across locations when needed.
