Fadumo Mohamed

Fadumo Mohamed is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 26 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also focuses on concerns tied to adoption and foster care, immigration, gender identity and sexual assault.

She asks clients to bring their experience and strengths into sessions. Her way of working is direct and practical. Sessions look at what is happening now and how past events shape current feelings and reactions.

Fadumo uses approaches that focus on emotions and attachment. She integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness techniques with other methods. That mix helps people name difficult feelings and change painful patterns in relationships and daily life.

In sessions she helps people address trauma from war, torture, natural disaster and other abuse. She also supports those coping with grief, postpartum struggles, jealousy, infidelity and long-term stress. The work can include managing symptoms, building clearer communication, and increasing tolerance for strong feelings.

Fadumo offers therapy in English, Arabic and Somali. She accepts international clients and works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. To begin, a short intake helps match goals to an initial plan of action.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and how those feelings shape relationship patterns. It is often used for difficulties where emotions are intense or confusing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and moving toward what matters while allowing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings to exist. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and closeness with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative planning can include mixing approaches as needs change.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so check the current options when you make contact. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or a quicker session during a break. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical options to help therapy fit into everyday life.
