About Modupe

Modupe Awonuga is a counsellor who supports people with relationship strains, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully to understand each person’s situation before suggesting a way forward. Modupe uses a warm, direct style that aims to make conversations feel manageable and useful.

She is a BACP member, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Modupe blends several approaches to suit different needs.

Background and approach

She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past. She uses person-centred principles to centre the conversation on the client and their goals. Motivational techniques help when someone needs a nudge to make changes.

Her background includes an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and further diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She has completed trauma-informed training and work on cultural sensitivity in counselling. Early placements included NHS Talking Therapy services and ongoing voluntary roles in mental health organisations.

Modupe also offers practical advocacy for clients who need support accessing services or making their views heard. This work sits alongside her counselling practice and reflects a focus on real-world problems as well as emotional wellbeing. She keeps up professional development through supervision, personal therapy, workshops and seminars.

People who choose Modupe can expect straightforward sessions that aim to identify small, achievable steps. Conversations are collaborative and non-judgemental, with attention to each person’s cultural background and life context.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions use conversation to identify patterns and name moments that repeat in adult life, which can ease relationship worries and parenting challenges.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s views and goals. The therapist offers empathy and non-judgemental listening so the person can find their own solutions, which is useful for building self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It uses guided conversation to boost motivation and plan realistic next steps, often helpful for making lifestyle or behaviour changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree a plan that fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the work develops.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief updates or when writing helps expression. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and day-to-day life, while still receiving professional support from registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
