About Fadumo

Fadumo Mohamed works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She uses the client’s own strengths and experience to guide conversations and practical steps. Fadumo is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 26 years' experience in counselling.

She helps people who have lived through war, torture, sexual or physical abuse, or natural disasters. She also supports those affected by adoption and foster care, immigration issues, HIV/AIDS, gender dysphoria and related concerns. Sessions address relationship challenges such as infidelity, jealousy and non-monogamous arrangements, and longer-term problems including personality difficulties and seasonal affective disorder.

Fadumo draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Mindfulness Therapy. In practice this means she blends talking work with exercises to notice patterns, manage distressing memories and build ways of living that matter to the client. Sessions are practical and focused on what the person wants to change.

Her approach treats the person’s history and cultural background as important to understand how problems developed. She listens to what has already helped and looks for small, manageable steps forward. Work can include grounding strategies, emotion-focused conversations, and methods aimed at reducing the hold of painful memories.

People meet Fadumo for short-term work around a specific event or for longer therapy when issues are more complex. She offers counselling in English, Arabic and Somali and accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and ongoing stress by focusing on small, value-led steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in the moment and how these shape relationship patterns. It can help people understand and change unhelpful interaction cycles and manage strong feelings in relationships.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with distressing memories to reduce their intensity. It is commonly used after traumatic events and aims to lessen the immediate emotional charge of those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then recommend steps to try. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend from a different location, to have a shorter check-in when needed, or to choose not to use video if that helps.
