About Yunus
Yunus Mohamed welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes. He is a counsellor with more than 21 years' experience and works in English, Gujarati, Hindi and Urdu. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Yunus began his career as a mental health community development worker and later set up a counselling service in Bolton in 2007.
Background and approach
He draws on a long history of supporting people with relationship struggles, grief, trauma and issues around addiction and intimacy. He also helps people dealing with parenting pressures, anger and career concerns. He describes an approach rooted in the Rogerian tradition - offering empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard.
He also uses cognitive and solution-focused techniques when they suit a person's goals. For people affected by trauma he brings trauma-focused ideas into the work. His practice is adaptable rather than rigid.
Yunus believes no single method fits everyone and he tailors sessions to what helps each person make progress. He has practical experience mediating family tensions and addressing blended family issues when needed. Yunus holds a BSc (Hons) in Professional Counselling from the University of Salford and is a member of the BACP.
He has been recognised with a National Mental Health Award in 2019 and has spent two decades working directly with people from diverse backgrounds.

Online support
He also uses solution-focused elements to help people set clear, short-term goals and build practical steps forward. These brief, goal-orientated techniques are useful for tackling problems like relationship communication, parenting challenges or coping with life changes. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will check your needs, goals and preferences and adapt the methods as you go.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation without travelling. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need support between scheduled calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping focus on progress and goals.
