About Fadumo
Fadumo Mohamed is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She has 26 years of professional experience and works from a strengths-based view, meeting people where they are and supporting them as they take difficult steps. She communicates in English, Arabic and Somali to help people from diverse backgrounds.
Fadumo listens first and helps people name what matters to them. She uses practical tools and gentle enquiry to build on a person's strengths. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps and understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Her background includes long experience supporting people who have lived through war, torture, sexual or physical abuse, and natural disaster. She also offers help around adoption and foster care concerns, immigration issues, and struggles with identity and discrimination. The emphasis is on helping people feel steadier and more able to make choices for themselves.
Fadumo draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR and mindfulness practices. These are used flexibly to match each person's needs and goals rather than as a fixed programme.
People who choose to work with her can expect a calm, respectful space to explore painful memories and current stresses. She encourages practical coping strategies alongside deeper emotional work. If you are thinking about starting, she guides the first steps and helps plan what comes next.
How Fadumo’s approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour, and helps people build safer ways of relating to others and themselves.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to a person's history, goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working. Over the first few sessions the method can be adjusted to better fit what the person needs and finds helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Practical benefits often include fitting talks around work or family, saving travel time, and more flexibility for people abroad since international clients are accepted. Discuss availability and the best format when you book to make sure the sessions suit everyday life and goals.
