About Modupe

Modupe Awonuga is a BACP counsellor with four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with relationship concerns, parenting difficulties, low self esteem, depression and coping with life changes, and also helps people dealing with guilt and shame. Modupe uses a conversational and practical manner to help people speak about what is worrying them. She invites straightforward talk about both recent events and long-held feelings.

Modupe trained through an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and holds further diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She has undertaken trauma-informed training and preparation in cultural sensitivity. Early placements included work with NHS Talking Therapy services and she continues to volunteer in mental health organisations.

Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas alongside person-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she listens for patterns from your past and also focuses on what helps you manage now. She uses these ideas to look at attachment and relationship dynamics when they come up.

Modupe also supports practical needs when these affect mental wellbeing. She advocates for people who need help accessing services and can discuss options for getting support beyond counselling. She keeps up professional development through supervision, personal therapy, workshops and seminars.

Sessions are offered in English. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and accepts international clients. The practice aims for a collaborative, non-judgemental tone throughout.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Modupe commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred practice in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations of others and helps when trust, abandonment or connection problems repeat in adult life. Client-centred practice focuses on listening closely, reflecting what you say, and supporting your own pace of change.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help with ambivalence and practical change. That approach uses short, focused conversation to clarify values and encourage small steps towards goals. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist discusses options with each person and adjusts methods to fit their needs and preferences.

The original profile did not specify session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. Modupe can also discuss practical support and advocacy alongside therapeutic work when people need help accessing services or organisations.
