Fadumo Mohamed, BACP

Fadumo Mohamed is a therapist based in the United Kingdom with 26 years of professional experience supporting people through significant life challenges. She works with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, grief and loss, and trauma related to war, torture, sexual and physical abuse, or natural disaster. Her practice also addresses PTSD and related effects, helping clients regain a sense of stability and direction.

Fadumo approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already holds strengths that can be mobilized for change. She prioritizes a collaborative relationship, offering guidance while listening closely to individual experiences and goals. Her range of work includes care for those coping with complex trauma, relationship repair, and the aftermath of loss.

She holds the BACP credential - a membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes affiliation with a national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and contented life can require courage, and Fadumo aims to provide steady support throughout that process, helping clients identify practical ways to move forward and build resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance has become limiting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotional patterns in close relationships and fostering secure bonds between partners - it is commonly used for couples and relational issues. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and their emotional impact, often used when past events continue to affect day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Fadumo works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from different locations. These formats allow registered professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while fitting therapy into busy lives and varied circumstances.
