About Olapeju
Olapeju (Paige) Fowora is a counsellor with a decade of experience in mental health. She holds BACP accreditation, and she blends psychodynamic ideas with a client-centred way of working. Paige aims to help people notice repeating patterns from the past and decide what to keep or change.
She presents herself as a calm, steady presence in sessions. Paige uses straightforward conversation to help clients understand how past experiences shape current feelings.
How Olapeju works
She encourages people to name their worries and to try small, practical steps between sessions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques often appear when someone wants change that feels manageable. Her background includes work across the UK mental health sector in NHS settings, charities, family justice services and local authorities.
That experience exposed her to a wide range of life stories and complex situations. It informs a flexible way of responding rather than a single fixed method. People often come with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting strain and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Paige also supports those coping with self-esteem, career uncertainty, anger, bipolar disorder and major life transitions. She attends to attachment, abandonment and family of origin struggles when these come up. Sessions focus on building a practical, trusting relationship.
Paige listens without judgment and offers tools drawn from CBT, psychodynamic work and client-centred practice. The aim is to help people leave sessions with clearer next steps and a greater sense of control. People can expect a calm tone, direct reflections and collaborative planning.
Paige frames therapy as a partnership where the client remains the expert on their life and she provides steady support along the way.

How approach and online therapy work together
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people make sense of their feelings. This style suits those who need space to be heard and to build trust at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear, practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood and problems that benefit from step-by-step work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and try different techniques to suit the person’s goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and adjusts as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel schedules.
