About Olapeju
Olapeju (Paige) Fowora is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works from a person-focused stance and helps people untangle patterns that repeat in their lives. Paige aims to offer calm, practical support for parents and others coping with stress, anxiety, loss or major life changes.
Paige blends client-centred work with psychodynamic thinking. That means she listens closely to what matters to you and also looks at how past experiences may shape current responses.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered as gentle conversations that combine reflection with practical steps you can try between meetings. She has a broad background in mental health and has spent time in services such as the NHS, charities and family justice settings. That experience informs her approach to complex situations, trauma and family-related concerns.
Her practice also covers issues like grief, addiction, anger and low self-worth. In sessions Paige focuses on helping people recognise unhelpful coping strategies and test new ways of relating to themselves and others. She can offer tools for communication, boundary-setting and managing strong emotions.
Work is paced to fit each person's needs and what feels possible at the time. Many people come to her feeling stuck, lonely or overwhelmed. She aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through their story and try out different ways forward.
The goal is to build a kinder relationship with yourself and clearer steps for daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental conversation where the client leads the pace and topics. It helps with emotional support, parenting stress and building self-esteem by reflecting what matters to you. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress. Motivational Interviewing is a brief collaborative style that helps people find their own reasons to make changes and can support work on addiction, ambivalence and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time as needs and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls replicate a face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when you prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing helps you process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life and to keep contact consistent over weeks or months.
