Fadumo Mohamed, BACP

Fadumo Mohamed is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She draws on a broad background to support people who are dealing with the effects of war, torture, sexual or physical abuse, natural disasters, and other intense losses. She speaks English, Arabic and Somali and works from the United Kingdom.

Fadumo approaches sessions with a belief that each person knows their own story best. She looks for strengths people already have and builds on them. Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to make difficult topics easier to talk about in short, clear steps.

She uses a mix of methods suited to the concern at hand. These include acceptance and commitment ideas to help with difficult thoughts, attachment-informed work for relationship pain, and mindfulness to steady overwhelming feelings. For trauma-related distress she may use eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing alongside other approaches.

Over 26 years she has supported people through complex loss, migration stresses, issues around identity and discrimination, and relationship ruptures such as infidelity and jealousy. Sessions tend to focus on practical ways to reduce symptoms, improve relationship connection and help people make values-based choices.

Her sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider their goals and preferences before booking, and to use the site's matching steps to begin the process.

How online work and therapy approaches fit together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress when people want clearer direction for daily choices. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of distressing memories by using guided processing techniques and structured recall. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, fit a session into a lunch break, or meet when relocation or travel would otherwise interrupt care. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how consultations are organised and whether the format suits your day-to-day needs.
