About Omowumi

Omowumi Idowu is a counsellor who uses trauma-focused and attachment-based approaches to help people move forward. She brings 16 years of professional experience across different settings in the United Kingdom and abroad. Her style is warm and patient and she aims to build trusting conversations that feel safe and respectful.

She helps people work through trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, and rebuild self-esteem. She also supports practical coping with life changes and offers coaching around motivation and confidence.

Background and approach

Sessions are adapted to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Omowumi draws on client-centred methods to create an open, non-judgemental space for talking. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want shorter-term change or clearer goals.

Trauma-focused work and attachment-based ideas guide work on past hurts and relationship patterns. She has experience as a counsellor in primary and secondary schools in the UK and overseas, which shaped her practical approach to helping people from different backgrounds. Omowumi aims to listen carefully and help clients find the next steps that feel doable.

Omowumi is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients through online formats and phone work. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How online therapy fits with trauma and attachment work

Omowumi draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people address the impact of past harm and painful memories. This involves careful pacing, talking about difficult experiences when someone is ready, and using techniques aimed at reducing distress linked to those memories.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice how they connect with others and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions together in a collaborative way. That means approaches can be blended or changed as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversations that need visual contact, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth, and text or chat can be useful for brief check-ins or times when writing helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel, or family life while maintaining continuity of care.
