About Fadumo
Counsellor BACP member Fadumo Mohamed has 26 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She speaks English, Arabic and Somali and works with people in the United Kingdom. Her practice also addresses issues such as adoption and foster care, immigration concerns, gender dysphoria, and sexual assault and abuse.
Fadumo adopts a practical, conversational style. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and focuses on what is useful now. Sessions are straightforward. She will listen to the facts of a situation and help people find ways to manage symptoms and make decisions that feel right for them.
Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR and Mindfulness. These methods are used to reduce distress, process painful memories and improve relationship patterns. Fadumo explains each method in simple terms so people can choose what suits them.
She places emphasis on coping skills and practical steps alongside exploring emotional patterns. People can expect calm, clear discussion and simple exercises to try between sessions. Fadumo pays attention to culture and background when discussing experiences of prejudice or migration.
Her background includes many years working with trauma from conflict, torture and disaster as well as more common issues such as grief and relationship breakdown. This range means she can draw on different techniques to respond to the problem presented, helping people make steady forward progress.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions. It suits ongoing anxiety, low mood and the stress of major life change. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact; it is often chosen for trauma and abuse. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they respond to strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fadumo will discuss options and decide with the client which methods to use based on needs and preferences. The choice can change over time as issues shift or new goals emerge.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow a shorter check-in if time is limited or offer sessions without a camera if that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often offer these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life.
