Modupe Awonuga

Modupe Awonuga is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. She is named BACP on her profile, and uses a collaborative, respectful style. Modupe aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most to them.

Modupe uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. She often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current ones. She also works in a client-centred way, focusing on the person in the room and their immediate needs. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make practical changes but feels stuck.

Her background includes an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and further diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She has specialist trauma-informed training and has practised in NHS talking therapy services. She also volunteers in mental health organisations to stay grounded in community work.

Modupe describes her work as collaborative and non-judgemental. She supports people who need help with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, midlife changes, narcissism, self-love, women’s issues and workplace difficulties. Her approach mixes talking, reflection and practical steps tailored to each person.

Modupe continues professional development through supervision, personal therapy, workshops and seminars. She also acts as a mental health advocate, helping people access services and express their needs when they find systems difficult to navigate.

How Modupe uses relational and goal-focused approaches online

Modupe draws on attachment-based work to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions, helping people untangle recurring patterns. She also uses client-centred therapy, which places the person’s experience at the heart of each session and encourages self-direction and choice.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to make concrete changes but feels unsure or stuck; it helps people find their own reasons and steps for change. These approaches suit issues such as relationship difficulties, low confidence, coping with life changes and recovery from past hurt.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Modupe will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods over time so therapy stays relevant and practical. This is a collaborative process where the method follows the client’s needs rather than the other way around.

The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible appointments when needed. It also lets people meet a registered professional from different locations while keeping sessions focused on everyday problems and clear steps forward.
