About Fadumo
Fadumo Mohamed is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and grief. She also supports those coping with relationship strain and trauma from abuse, torture, war or natural disaster. She works in English, Arabic and Somali and practises from the United Kingdom.
Fadumo sees people as experts in their own lives. She looks for strengths clients already have and builds on them. Her approach is practical and down to earth.
Background and approach
She invites calm, steady conversation and small steps forward. Across a long career she has used a mix of talking and body-aware methods. She draws on mindfulness to help people notice what is happening in the moment.
She uses attachment-based thinking and emotionally focused ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Her work also includes approaches aimed at processing traumatic memories and strong emotions. Sessions often focus on safer ways to remember and make sense of painful events, while also teaching coping skills for day-to-day life.
She keeps explanations plain and avoids jargon. Fadumo has 26 years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That background shapes how she plans sessions and matches methods to each person.
She helps clients set clear, manageable goals and checks progress as they go.
How Fadumo’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck on them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a chosen direction, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for trauma linked to abuse, disaster or war. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises that calm the nervous system and reduce overwhelm in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit a person’s goals and comfort level. That collaborative process helps find what feels useful, whether that is skills practice, memory processing or learning new ways to relate to feelings.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation from different locations, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support without scheduling a full call and can fit around work or childcare. Registered and accredited professionals can use these formats to adapt sessions to each person’s needs.
