About Fadumo

Fadumo Mohamed is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, postpartum depression, immigration and multicultural concerns, and the impacts of natural or human-caused disasters. Fadumo welcomes conversations in English, Arabic and Somali and communicates from the United Kingdom.

Fadumo describes clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on building from existing strengths. In sessions she offers steady listening and practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings. She aims to make it easier to talk about painful events and to find steps forward that feel manageable.

Her practice draws on several approaches. Mindfulness techniques help people notice stress responses and develop calmer habits. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns that show up in close relationships. When trauma is central, she may work with methods that help people process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.

Across sessions Fadumo uses a gentle, collaborative style. She asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients try small experiments between appointments. Conversations include practical coping skills alongside time to make sense of past hurts.

With 26 years of experience and BACP registration, she brings long-term practice to complex situations. Those looking to begin will find clear steps to take and a calm, patient presence to guide them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It uses practical exercises and small actions to reduce getting stuck. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people connect emotions with needs, which often eases conflict and increases safety in attachments. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. This collaborative process means plans can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options for quieter or low-bandwidth contacts. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pace to suit an online setting while focusing on the same therapeutic goals as face-to-face work.
