Yunus is the best therapist on this app currently and this is not an exaggeration. Working with Yunus Mohamed was very relieving and a breath of fresh air. He made me very comfortable to open up about my struggles with PTSD, childhood trauma, self discovery, relationship issues with my spouse etc. He is such a fantastic listener so I was able to pour my heart out and he never judged me. His wealth of experience is second to none. I loved how he showed empathy every time I got overwhelmed with emotions. He is very patient and also punctual. I would recommend him any day, any time.

Mr. Mohamed was very helpful, patient, and professional. He helped me work through self doubt, insecurities, and a negative self image that I had about myself. I am confident in myself, I feel better about myself, but I am still humble. I highly recommend Mr. Mohamed.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Yunus was extremely professional and during the 2 months which he worked with me on my issues. He would listen with empathy and without prejudice and always offered support and suggestions. Yunus provided an exceptional service by being prompt, responsive and flexible in his availability and support, and was very easy to talk to. Working and speaking with someone online in another part of the world, you wonder if there will be a cultural rift but I definitely didn't feel that with Yunus and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who would like to be helped.

Yunus was great with me. Had been struggling to get over a break up and never considered “therapy” before. Never felt like he judged what I would say or feel and was a massive help

Reviewed February 2023

I worked with Yunus for 3 months on issues regarding my lifestyle and avoidance. While working on those things we came across patterns I had acquired during my early childhood and solved the problems at their root. Throughout the therapy Yunus was empathetic, knowledgeable, always ready to offer me his valuable insight. The fact that we come from two different cultures was not an obstacle. He has a global understanding of counselling and psychotherapy and I can definitely recommend him. If I need any help in the future I will also make sure I will come back to him.

I worked with Yunus for 2-3 months on issues relating to understanding of myself, confidence in who I am and difficulty forming and thriving in romantic relationships. Yunus used a number of techniques to help me to dig into who I am and what I am looking for in a partner, and to understand and reframe my self-limiting thoughts into positive ones. This has led to some significant insights which have helped me to approach life and relationships in a different way, and I feel much more confident in being myself and seizing opportunities in life. Yunus is always positive, polite and empathetic which makes me feel safe and able to be truthful. I found the tasks that he set me to think about between sessions useful and I would often come to the next session having connected some things in my mind which I hadn't realised before. I really recommend Yunus as a therapist and will come to him again in future if I resume counselling again to dig into any other issues.

Doctor Mohammed was a very knowledgeable, understanding Therapist all throughout my sessions with him. He was very professional and always on time with our schedule. I would recommend him to anyone!

I had my last session with Yunus today and I can give him nothing but praise. He has been professional and understanding in all of our sessions together. I was in a very dark place when I started first started talking to him and he helped me every single step of the way. We talked about my relationship issues and just everything I’m dealing with in my life. In every session he gave me advice on how to deal with my emotions and little targets on how to improve my thinking. He was open to listening to absolutely anything and we worked together in slowing building my confidence. He has honestly been an angel in my life and you’d be lucky to be matched with such an amazing therapist. Over 6 sessions I’ve had with him, I couldn’t fault a single thing - quick replies at any time of the day and he was always willing to also rearrange sessions to work with my day. Although I was initially skeptical in therapy but it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. 10/10
