Fadumo Mohamed, BACP

Fadumo Mohamed helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She offers calm, steady support while people work through difficult memories and ongoing worries. Fadumo speaks English, Arabic and Somali and brings 26 years of experience in therapeutic work in the United Kingdom.

She sees each person as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Fadumo gently guides conversations so emotions, memories and choices can be looked at without feeling overwhelmed.

Her style blends emotion-focused and attachment-minded work with mindfulness and acceptance approaches. She also uses EMDR for those who find talking is not enough to shift painful memories. These methods are used to reduce painful reactions, untangle relationship patterns, and build clearer choices in day-to-day life.

Fadumo has a BACP credential, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked over two decades supporting people affected by war, torture, sexual or physical abuse, natural disaster, migration and other major life stresses.

People who choose Fadumo can expect a respectful, down-to-earth approach that values their strengths. Therapy involves exploring feelings, trying practical tools, and tracking small changes. Sessions are paced to match what each person can manage at the time.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for ongoing anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and patterns in close relationships to help people understand and change how they connect. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the reactions they trigger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and what feels doable, then suggest methods to try. Decisions are made collaboratively, and plans can be adjusted as progress is noticed.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or better if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or choose a format that feels less formal. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
