Mohammed Dualeh, BACP

Mohammed Dualeh is a BACP counsellor with 22 years of experience helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or in transition. He supports those facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy worries, addictions, parenting strains and the practical fallout of life changes such as career shifts and caregiving demands.

He keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier. Mohammed draws on several well-known methods rather than a single rigid style, adapting work to each person’s needs and pace.

In practice he blends cognitive behavioural ideas with client-centred and existential thinking. Attachment-based ideas also inform how he looks at relationships and long-standing patterns. This mix is used to address thoughts, behaviours and the deeper meaning that gives problems shape.

Mohammed has worked in the NHS, schools, addiction services, community organisations, private practice and the corporate sector. That range informs a pragmatic approach to common problems such as stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and chronic illness challenges.

He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework and takes regular clinical supervision. People who come to him can expect a respectful space to talk things through and a focus on finding realistic ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters rather than fighting feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this is often helpful for anxiety, depression and problem behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mohammed will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things move along, keeping it collaborative and outcome-focused.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work if they move or are living abroad, while the therapist adapts exercises and homework to the realities of the person’s day-to-day life.
