    About Modupe

    Modupe Awonuga is a counsellor who helps people with relationship struggles, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression and coping with major life changes. She uses a gentle, practical style and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful for day-to-day problems.

    Modupe trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds an Advanced Diploma in Counselling plus other diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She is a BACP member, which means she works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework. She draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs.

    In sessions she focuses on listening closely and finding what works for the individual. Her background includes placements with NHS Talking Therapies, previously known as IAPT, and volunteer work in a mental health organisation. This experience shaped how she supports people facing emotional and practical challenges.

    Modupe has completed trauma‑informed and cultural sensitivity training and uses that knowledge when people bring difficult memories or identity issues. She aims to help with feelings like abandonment, shame, isolation and difficulties with body image or self-worth.

    She also supports people who want clearer direction around life purpose, workplace stress or midlife changes. Modupe keeps developing her skills through supervision, personal therapy and ongoing workshops to ensure her approach stays relevant and responsive.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, building motivation and setting achievable goals, which can help with low motivation, parenting challenges and workplace change.

    Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings. It can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, intimacy difficulties or long‑standing trust issues and helps explore how to form more secure connections in daily life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs and preferences and decide together which methods to use. Sessions are adaptive and aim to match the person's pace and goals rather than forcing a single method.

    If you plan to meet online, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. It also allows sessions to continue when life events make in‑person meetings difficult, while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
