Fadumo Mohamed, BACP

Fadumo Mohamed is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom with 26 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, PTSD and relationship challenges. She has worked with survivors of war and torture, those affected by sexual and physical abuse, and people coping with the emotional aftermath of natural disasters, offering practical support for grief and loss as well as other complex reactions to trauma.

Fadumo works from the conviction that each person is the expert on their own life and that clients already have strengths to draw on when facing difficult situations. She focuses on building collaboration and resilience so clients can move toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Taking the first step to seek help is acknowledged as an act of courage, and Fadumo aims to accompany clients through that process with empathy and steady guidance.

She holds the BACP credential - membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes adherence to recognised professional standards for counselling and psychotherapy. Her practice blends validation, skillful interventions, and tailored strategies to address trauma, relationships, anxiety, depression, and related concerns.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, while identifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and depression because it focuses on practical steps toward valued goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and reacting in relationships. By understanding attachment histories, clients can work on changing relational patterns and building more secure connections, which can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties and complexities arising from trauma.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, supports the processing of distressing memories and traumatic experiences by guiding the brain to reprocess painful material. It is commonly used with people who have PTSD or who continue to experience strong reactions tied to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Fadumo collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, access for clients in different locations, and continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively through remote sessions, allowing therapy to fit into everyday life while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
