Modupe Awonuga , BACP

Modupe Awonuga is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those coping with major life changes and issues connected to women’s experiences. Modupe works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to make talking about hard topics easier.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and start with what matters most to the client. Modupe listens for patterns in relationships, attachment and emotional responses to help people understand what keeps problems repeating.

Her training includes an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. Modupe is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which she notes as part of her professional framework.

She has four years of counselling experience and has worked on placement with NHS Talking Therapy, formerly IAPT. Modupe has also volunteered with mental health organisations and completed specialist trauma-informed learning and cultural sensitivity study.

Alongside clinical work she advocates for people who need help accessing services and expressing their wishes to organisations. She keeps up her practice through supervision, personal therapy, workshops and seminars to continually improve how she supports people.

How Modupe adapts therapy approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps people notice patterns in trust, closeness and fear of abandonment, which can improve how they relate to others. Client-Centred Therapy puts the persons experience at the centre and uses active listening and acceptance to help people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Modupe will explore goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit the person. She invites clients to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be easier with low bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who find typing easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and they let people keep continuity of care even when they move or are abroad.
