Modupe Awonuga, BACP

Counsellor and BACP member with four years' experience, Modupe Awonuga helps people with relationship and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, guilt and shame, isolation and workplace worries.

Modupe uses several approaches in her work. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses client-centred ways of working to listen and reflect what matters to the person in front of her. She also brings elements of psychodynamic thinking and trauma-informed practice where relevant.

Her background includes an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and further diplomas in Therapeutic and Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She has experience from a placement with NHS Talking Therapy (formerly IAPT) and offers voluntary work with mental health organisations. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Sessions tend to focus on practical talk and gentle reflection rather than labels or diagnoses. Modupe aims to help people clarify their concerns, test out new ways of relating, and find steps that fit everyday life. She continues with supervision, personal therapy, workshops and seminars as part of her practice.

She also supports people by advocating for access to services and helping them express their views to organisations. If you prefer a different name, she is also known as Bukky.
