About Omowumi

Omowumi Idowu works on trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes and coaching. She uses conversation-based methods to help people make changes and build confidence. Omowumi is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has 16 years of professional experience in counselling.

She draws on approaches that focus on relationships and present concerns. In sessions she listens to a person’s story, reflects back what she hears, and helps identify simple, practical steps to try between meetings. Sessions aim to clarify goals, strengthen coping, and reduce overwhelm in everyday life.

Omowumi has worked in primary and secondary schools in the UK and abroad. That background means she is used to supporting people who describe bullying, grief, low self-worth, or sudden life changes. She combines that practical experience with a conversational style that keeps discussions straightforward and goal-focused.

Her work includes trauma-focused methods to address the impact of past harm, and solution-focused techniques to build small, achievable changes. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding momentum and deciding what matters most to them.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to make sure the first meeting suits their needs.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how important relationships affect feelings and behaviour. In practice this means looking at patterns in relationships and discussing ways to feel more secure in connections and daily interactions.

Client-centred counselling puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what she hears, and helps the person find their own solutions to concerns such as low self-esteem or coping with change.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses guided conversation to identify values and small steps that build motivation and confidence.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the work. Omowumi will discuss options with each person and agree which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used for online work, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so conversations can happen from wherever someone is able to meet at the planned time.
