About Olapeju
Olapeju (Paige) Fowora is a counsellor with a decade of experience working in mental health. She holds BACP accreditation and bases her work in the United Kingdom. Paige uses a blend of person-focused listening and psychodynamic thinking to help people notice patterns that may be holding them back.
Her style is calm and practical. She offers a listening space where difficult feelings can be named without judgment. Sessions aim to help people feel understood and to find tools they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Paige has a background supporting people affected by trauma, family difficulties and loss. Her experience includes work with public services and charities, so she is familiar with complex and varied life situations. She draws on solution-focused techniques and cognitive approaches to help people set small, attainable goals.
Motivational interviewing is used when people want help deciding on changes or addressing addictive behaviours. People who come to her often bring concerns about anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, or challenges with self-esteem and identity. She also works with matters such as anger, career stress, bipolar-related coping, and compassion fatigue.
Paige approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She helps each person identify repeating patterns from their past and offers options to try in the present. The aim is to build a kinder relationship with oneself and clearer ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead and reflects their experience back so they feel seen and heard. This approach helps with feelings of low self-worth, loneliness and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits that reduce anxiety or depression.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are thinking about change. It uses gentle questions to uncover personal motivations and to strengthen commitment to practical steps, which can be helpful for addictions or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options let people choose a format that suits their day - for example a quick text check-in, a phone call during a break, or a video session when more time is available. The range of formats makes therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
