About Modupe

Psychotherapist, BACP member, 4 years' experience. Modupe Awonuga works with relationship and parenting worries, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She uses a blend of psychodynamic, person-centred and trauma-informed approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings and patterns.

Modupe trained to an advanced diploma level in counselling and holds further diplomas in therapeutic and psychotherapeutic counselling. She also completed specialist trauma-informed training and coursework in cultural sensitivity. Early placements included the NHS talking therapies service and she continues to volunteer in the mental health sector.

In sessions she focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. That can mean talking through relationship patterns, looking at attachment and abandonment issues, or exploring shame, guilt and body image concerns. She uses motivational interviewing techniques when people want to change habits or increase motivation.

Modupe also supports people facing workplace strain, questions about life purpose or midlife transitions, and issues around self-love and forgiveness. Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns, and on person-centred work to keep the conversation practical and client-led.

Alongside private practice she advocates for mental wellbeing and helps people navigate services and organisations when they need support. She continues with supervision, personal therapy and regular professional development to inform her practice.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to discuss attachment, abandonment and relationship behaviours and how they affect present life. Client-centred work puts the person’s concerns at the centre. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client's lead and focuses on what the client wants to address in each meeting. Motivational interviewing is a brief, goal-focused method for building motivation to change. It can help with confidence, low motivation and practical steps when someone wants to shift habits or take action.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt the mix as therapy progresses. That decision is made together rather than assumed in advance.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Practically, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use a phone call rather than video when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
