About Modupe

Modupe Awonuga is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of practice. She supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, including questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.

She uses a blend of approaches drawn from psychodynamic work, client-centred practice and trauma-informed methods. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, looking at how past experiences affect present choices, and identifying small, realistic steps to try between meetings. Modupe also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what matters to them and to strengthen willingness to change.

Her background includes an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and further diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She has completed specialist training in trauma-informed practice and cultural sensitivity, and she took a placement with NHS Talking Therapies (formerly IAPT). Modupe also volunteers with a mental health organisation.

People often come to her with issues around attachment, abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and workplace difficulties. She can also help those dealing with forgiveness, self-love, narcissistic relationship patterns and the emotional aspects of physical health conditions.

Modupe describes her way of working as collaborative and respectful. She continues professional development through supervision, personal therapy and workshops. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches in remote sessions

Modupe draws on attachment-based work to look at how early and important relationships shape your expectations and reactions now; this can help with relationship strain, abandonment worries and attachment issues. She pairs that with client-centred practice, which focuses on listening and helping you clarify what matters to you without pressure. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help finding motivation and setting practical next steps, for example around life changes or improving confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Modupe will work with the person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She views this as collaborative and reviews what is working over time so the way of working can change as needs evolve.

The practical benefits of doing sessions remotely include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, check the current options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid camera use when preferred, or fit a session into a work break, depending on the formats offered by the practitioner.
