Yunus Mohamed holds a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Based in the United Kingdom, he brings formal academic training together with long experience in community mental health.
Before establishing his own service, Yunus worked as a Mental Health Community Development Worker, and in 2007 he founded the BCOM Counselling service in Bolton. Over two decades of practice have seen him support people from a wide range of backgrounds with mental health concerns, marital difficulties and anger management, among other issues.
He also has practical experience mediating between family members, including parents and their children and extended relatives. Yunus adopts an eclectic counselling style, grounded in the Rogerian values of unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness, and he tailors methods to each person’s needs because he believes no single approach suits everyone.
For Muslim clients he integrates fundamental Islamic values where appropriate. Yunus’s work has been recognised with a National Mental Health Award in 2019.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or coping with life changes, research shows that online therapy can be as effective as face-to-face sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat or ongoing in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to access support without rearranging a full day around appointments.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and clients may change therapists at any time if they feel another approach would be a better fit. For many people, online therapy is a practical, evidence-based way to get consistent support for everyday mental health concerns.
