Modupe Awonuga, BACP

Modupe Awonuga is an integrative psychotherapist who combines training from several therapeutic traditions to offer personalised support for individuals navigating relationship, parenting, self-esteem, and life transition challenges. She is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ethical practice.

Her clinical foundation includes an Advanced Diploma in Counselling plus additional diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling, and she has undertaken specialist trauma-informed training alongside cultural sensitivity coursework. Early clinical experience included a placement with NHS Talking Therapy - formerly IAPT - and she continues to contribute through volunteering with a mental health organisation.

Modupe has supported people with depression, motivation and confidence difficulties, relationship and parenting concerns, body image and self-worth issues, and coping with physical and mental health diagnoses. She also works with themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation, midlife transitions, and workplace challenges. Outside her private practice she advocates for clients by helping them access services and express their views to organisations.

She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and a non-judgmental stance, working collaboratively to create a space where clients can be themselves. Modupe maintains ongoing professional development through supervision, personal therapy, workshops, and seminars.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Modupe draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful and non-judgmental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps with self-esteem, life purpose, and personal growth by prioritising the client’s perspective. Attachment-based therapy is used to explore how early and current relationship patterns affect present connections - it can be especially useful for relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and abandonment or attachment issues. Motivational interviewing offers a collaborative, goal-focused method to help people find their own reasons for change and build confidence when motivation feels low, which can support work around depression, behaviour change, and coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Modupe works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as the work evolves to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it possible to access registered professionals from a distance, maintain continuity of care during busy periods, and receive support in a format that works best for each individual.
