About Fadumo
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 26 years of experience, Fadumo Mohamed focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She speaks English, Arabic and Somali and accepts international clients. She works from several therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR and Mindfulness Therapy.
Fadumo helps people facing the fallout from war, torture, sexual and physical abuse, and natural disasters. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, immigration-related stress, and issues such as postpartum depression, HIV/AIDS concerns, and identity matters including gender dysphoria. Sessions address relationship hurts, jealousy and infidelity as well as broader pressures like seasonal affective disorder and discrimination.
Her way of working gives space for people to tell their story and to identify strengths they already have. Practical tools from ACT and mindfulness are taught alongside talk-based work about attachment and emotions. EMDR is used where trauma memories are a core problem.
Sessions are practical and paced to the person. Expect short-term skills work when stress and anxiety are the main concern and a longer focus on patterns and relationships when those are central. The therapist discusses options and makes a plan that fits the person's goals.
Fadumo draws on long experience with diverse cultural backgrounds. She aims to reduce immediate distress while also addressing deeper relationship patterns and past trauma so people can function better day to day.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act on what matters to them. It is useful for ongoing anxiety, stress and life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotional patterns in relationships and on changing interactional cycles that cause hurt. It tends to be used when relationship dynamics are a central concern. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing trauma memories by pairing guided recall with bilateral stimulation; it is aimed at reducing the emotional charge of those memories.Deciding which method to use is part of the early work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and together they will choose approaches that make the most sense. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that mixes skills training, emotion work and trauma processing as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel and allowing appointments during work breaks or between other responsibilities. They can also permit shorter check-ins, sessions without video, or longer weekly sessions depending on what the therapist and client agree suits the situation.
