   About Omowumi

   Omowumi Idowu is a counsellor who draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find the drive to change. She combines this with client-centred care to create a respectful, warm space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Omowumi’s approach aims to boost confidence and help clients take practical steps forward.

   She has 16 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and abroad. Much of her background includes counselling in primary and secondary schools, which gave her experience with children and young people from varied backgrounds. That school work has informed how she notices strengths and practical ways to support someone through change.

   Omowumi works with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, coping with life changes, and coaching around motivation. In sessions she tailors the conversation and plan to each person’s needs, focusing on clear next steps and support that feels manageable. She aims to be patient, genuine and warm in her style.

   In practice she helps people explore their thoughts and feelings so they can make positive changes. Her way of working is collaborative - she listens first and then helps people set simple goals. This often includes short-term strategies alongside deeper work for trauma and grief.

   People who see her can expect a respectful, sensitive approach that concentrates on what matters most right now. The emphasis is on small, achievable change and building confidence to move forward.

2. How her approaches translate to online counselling

   Omowumi uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation one step at a time. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she notices patterns in relationships and helps people understand how past connections affect current feelings and behaviours.
   
   Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She will listen to your concerns and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit your goals. That plan can change as you learn more about what helps most in sessions, so the work stays practical and personalised.
   
   Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and day-to-day life. Before booking, confirm which session formats are available, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, combine coaching with therapy, or make room for sessions between other commitments, depending on the formats offered. Registered or accredited professionals like her often help clients set realistic tasks between sessions so progress continues between meetings.
