Modupe Awonuga

Modupe Awonuga is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image worries, guilt and shame, loneliness, and issues common in midlife. Modupe works in a straightforward and respectful way. She aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable.

Modupe practises in a person-centred style and draws on psychodynamic ideas and trauma-aware methods. She uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons for change. Sessions focus on listening first, then on practical steps that fit each person’s life.

Her background includes an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and further diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She is a registered member of the BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and follows its ethical framework. Modupe has also completed trauma-informed training and work on cultural sensitivity in counselling.

She has worked on placement with NHS Talking Therapy services and continues to volunteer in mental health organisations. That mix of public-sector placement and voluntary work shapes her practical approach to everyday problems.

Modupe combines one-to-one listening with help accessing other services when needed. She keeps up with supervision, personal therapy, workshops and seminars as part of her ongoing professional development.

How Modupe’s approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people make sense of patterns in trust, closeness and separation, which can be useful for relationship and parenting concerns.

Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. Sessions aim to build self-trust, increase self-worth and help people find their own solutions when facing depression or life changes.

Motivational Interviewing is a practical, conversational method. It helps people find their own reasons to change and set small, realistic steps toward goals like improving confidence or coping with workplace stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk it through with each person, and adapt methods to fit the client’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are being offered before booking. Confirming formats helps you plan around work, childcare and daily routines. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and choose a setting that allows for quieter surroundings or a shorter check-in when needed.
