Olapeju (Paige) Fowora, BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP #391845

I am a professionally qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I combine working psychodynamically with a client-centred approach and I can support you as the client to identify repeating patterns from the past that can sometimes act as a defence mechanism that may no longer serve you. I believe that you are the expert within your life, and I am the ‘airport’ that provides support and tools for different parts of your journey in life.

I have 15 years’ experience working within mental health with children and families. I have worked with a diverse range of people with an array of needs, life changing disabilities and complex trauma. I have worked within the NHS, UK charities, family justice services and the local authority.

If you are feeling lost, displaced, anxious or lonely or feeling deep sadness due to the loss of a loved one? These feelings can be overwhelming and can cause you to become stuck. As you navigate through unprecedented times, the feelings may be heightened and cause you to feel triggered, isolated or scared of going back to normal everyday life. These feelings are perfectly normal and, often, having a safe confidential space to explore them can provide much needed relief for you.

I understand that your experience of the world is unique as an individual, and this comes with different challenges as well strengths and gifts. I believe in the fundamental importance of working together in a relationship that enables you to explore your story in a safe and confidential way. By doing so, I also believe that our relationship will be the building block to help you develop a safe relationship with yourself.

I will provide an empathic ear, I will never judge your experience and I will ensure that our space is confidential. I will provide you with the tools to support your journey and I will treat you with unconditional, positive regard.
