Modupe Awonuga, BACP

Modupe Awonuga is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. She introduces herself warmly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.

She draws on a mix of approaches to tailor sessions to each person. Modupe uses ideas from attachment work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to focus on what each person wants from therapy and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change.

Modupe trained through an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and holds further diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is noted on her profile as a professional affiliation.

Her experience includes placements with NHS talking therapies services and ongoing volunteer work in mental health organisations. That background informs practical help around accessing services and advocating for people when they need support with external agencies.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and non-judgemental. Modupe continues professional development through supervision, personal therapy, workshops and seminars. Her style is straightforward: she listens, identifies patterns, and works with each person to set clear, achievable steps forward.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Modupe commonly uses attachment-based work to help people see how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and relationship choices. This approach can be useful for those noticing repeated relationship difficulties or anxiety around closeness.

She also uses client-centred methods, which put the person's experience at the centre of sessions. That means conversations follow what matters most to the client and the pace is set by them. Motivational interviewing is another tool she draws on to help people clarify goals and find the motivation to make changes, especially around confidence, parenting choices or workplace steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she treats that as a collaborative task. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that suit the person's needs and adapt as things change so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat can be shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or other commitments.
