About Olapeju
Olapeju (Paige) Fowora is a counsellor with ten years of practice and a BACP membership. She draws on an integrative background to help people untangle patterns that repeat in their lives. Her approach aims to make space for people who feel lost, anxious or overwhelmed by grief and trauma.
She works from the belief that each person is the expert on their life. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps clients notice coping habits that may no longer be useful.
Background and approach
The focus is practical - understanding what happens, why it repeats, and what small steps might shift things. Paige blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about past patterns. She also uses trauma-focused approaches and cognitive behavioural techniques to address symptoms like anxiety, depression and stress.
Motivational interviewing is used when people want help with change, such as reducing substance use or addressing addictive behaviours. Her background includes a decade in mental health services across the United Kingdom. That experience involved work with people affected by complex trauma, family difficulties and serious life changes.
She has worked in NHS settings, charities and local authority services. In practice she offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through painful events. Clients can expect to reflect on past and present patterns and try out new ways of coping.
Sessions aim to help people build steadier relationships with themselves and move forward at a manageable pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how overwhelming events affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand triggers and learn safer ways to cope with painful memories or reactions.Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens with empathy and supports the client to make their own choices and find their own answers.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns and is useful for people wanting structured skills to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will choose techniques that fit the person's needs and goals. This happens through collaborative conversations and regular check-ins about what is or isn't helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer audio only, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, follow-ups or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and can reduce travel time while keeping the focus on progress and continuity of care.
