Fadumo Mohamed

I currently have limited face-to-face availability because my current capacity for availability is 1 and 1/2 day per week and it is fully booked with waiting list. But I have available spaces online evenings and weekends. My evening slots are 6pm - 6pm subject to availability. My weekends availability is 8:00am - 11.00am subject to availability.

My approach

My name is Fadumo, I am a Registered and Accredited member of the https://www.bacp.co.uk/ (BACP). I have a global practise providing mental health support to individuals, couples, families, groups and organisations with different or multiple presenting issues in the way that is convenient to them.

I was trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and lately trained EMDR. Although my core training is psychodynamic, in which how the unconscious and past experiences shape the present is always in centre, yet my perspective is that a good relationship between the therapist and the client is the heart of a good therapeutic relationship that can foster growth and changes. I tailored approach and techniques to fit my client’s immediate holistic needs.

I aim to provide a safe, accepting and confidential space where my clients can focus on discussing experiences and emotions that are of concern to them. The purpose of the therapy is for the client to gain awareness of the possibilities for making meaningful changes to their life and to examine the choices that are available to them. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will work closely together on the issues. I will not tell you what to do or give you advice, but at times will encourage you to challenge yourself and beliefs. My core principle for therapy is myself and my client to work to understand the importance for professional, confidential and culturally sensitive therapeutic intervention and supportive space for my clients.

I provide online/face-to-face counselling and psychotherapy to anyone looking for support through a challenging time in life and who may be experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, uncertainty, relationship difficulty, early attachment difficulties, grief, losses, trauma related childhood abuse or trauma related to war, displacement, rape, shame, human trafficking, modern slavery or other upheavals etc.

                               Individual Counselling

•  Living with family or community can be wonderful and challenging too. But it can also create anxiety, fear of difference, isolation, and depression. It can be useful to talk to a professional who understands you in confidential space.  
• Online counselling can be an opportunity to reflect on and explore experiences, thoughts and feelings in your own time and space. I use online video calls (mostly Zoom).  But communication can be  as well as email and WhatsApp to provide support easily accessible and quick reach out. 
• I provide online therapy via zoom. First session is assessment to establish information checking, background, presenting issues, risk checking, procedure explanation including confidentiality etc. I normally offer 90 minutes for the first session and change £80.  The ongoing session are 50 minutes and charge £60 subject to agreement.
• I offer appointments in flexible and client needs with arrangement (Weekdays, Evenings and Weekends)
• I do request an advance payment from my clients and I invoice them end of each month with back details. 
• Clients with EAP or insurance coverage require different arrangements which we will agree in advance.
•  Cancellation of a session should be made with at least 48 hours notice otherwise payment for the scheduled session will be expected.
