About Olapeju
Olapeju (Paige) Fowora is a BACP counsellor who brings ten years of mental health experience to her practice. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, depression or stress. Paige helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and offers practical tools to manage difficult moments.
She draws on client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on each person's experience. That means the client leads the conversation while the counsellor reflects and asks questions that help bring clarity.
Background and approach
Paige also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how past patterns may show up now and affect relationships and emotions. When emotions feel intense, she will introduce straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioural approaches. These techniques aim to break down problems into manageable steps and build small changes that add up.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to make changes but feels unsure how to start or stay motivated. Paige is comfortable supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, addiction, self-esteem, parenting stress and relationship issues. Her experience includes working across NHS settings, charities and family services, giving her varied exposure to complex needs over the years.
In sessions she offers calm, non-judgemental listening and practical suggestions tailored to each person. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. The focus is on helping people feel less stuck and more able to cope with life changes.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on the client's priorities and feelings. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely and reflects what matters most, helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into smaller parts and offers practical steps to change thoughts and behaviours. It works well for anxiety and stress because it gives clear strategies to try between sessions. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change and needs support to find their own reasons and goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide what fits best, adjusting methods based on goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps set clear, manageable steps and keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual rapport. Phone calls suit people who prefer to avoid video or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions and ongoing support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
