Olapeju (Paige) Fowora, BACP

Olapeju (Paige) Fowora is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who blends psychodynamic work with a client-centered orientation to support people through life transitions and complex emotional experiences. She helps clients identify repeating patterns that may have developed as defenses in the past but no longer serve them, and she works collaboratively to explore how those patterns show up in present relationships and daily life. She describes her role as offering practical support and tools across different stages of a person’s journey, while recognising that the client is the expert in their own life.

She brings ten years of experience working within mental health settings with children and families and has worked across the NHS, UK charities, family justice services and local authority roles. That background informs her work with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, as well as issues such as addiction, self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and blended family difficulties, and other complex family of origin matters.

Paige offers an empathic, nonjudgmental presence and aims to build a therapeutic relationship that becomes a foundation for developing a safer, kinder relationship with oneself. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her approach emphasises understanding, acceptance, and practical strategies to support lasting change.
