Olapeju (Paige) Fowora is a counsellor with ten years of practice and a BACP registration. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and aims to offer steady, practical support. Paige sees clients from the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients in English.
Her background includes long experience in mental health settings. She has worked across NHS services, charities, family justice services and local authority roles. That work involved supporting people facing complex trauma, life-changing disabilities and a wide range of personal challenges.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses a client-centred stance alongside psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens for repeating patterns from the past that still affect day-to-day life. She helps people notice those patterns and consider different ways of responding.
Paige also draws on practical tools from cognitive and solution-focused approaches. This includes setting small, manageable goals and trying out new coping strategies between sessions. Motivational interviewing skills help when people want to change behaviours such as substance use or unhelpful habits.
People come for many reasons - grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, addiction concerns, anger or career strain. She also works with attachment or abandonment wounds, body image and codependency worries. The aim is to build a kinder, more reliable relationship with yourself.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Paige treats people without judgement and concentrates on what will make life feel more manageable day to day.
How Paige’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client’s pace so they feel heard and understood. This approach helps with issues like loneliness, low self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with stressful life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paige will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the person’s needs. Decisions about focus and techniques are made together, and plans can change as progress is made.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messages. Video calls allow for fuller conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work or childcare. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats help make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule around a busy life.
