I am licensed in the UK with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, bullying, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I will also help and support you to explore your feelings and thoughts which should lead to positive results.

I am a patient, genuine and warm person. This has helped me to create trustworthy relationships with clients. I have worked as a counsellor in primary and secondary schools for a number of years in the Uk and abroad which has given me the opportunity to work with children and young people from different works of life.

My belief is that it is never too late to make positive changes with the right help, guidance, and support.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I am grateful for the support of Wumi. The reason is because an opportunity to enter into counselling to build a world where the main thing has been to develop a value system and my sense of self.

Omowumi Idowu or Wumi as she often refers to herself as has been and continues to be an amazing listening ear. Her guidance and approach has greatly helped me to grow within our sessions and as a person. She listens to truly understand and help. Working along with her and the using the worksheets she provides has greatly helped me and I strongly recommend. When getting a therapist I also wanted someone rooted in the same faith as myself and as a Christian I deeply appreciate the guidance she gives even referencing the gospel.

She is an incredibly thoughtful, insightful, helpgul therapist in a very actionable way. I appreciate our sessions so much as there’s always an insight, newly gained perspective or actionable idea to try.

It took me a lot of time but I finally found the right therapist!! Omowumi understands me completely and I always leave our sessions with an uplifting feeling. I would strongly recommend her if you need help with your trauma’s and or toxic relationships :)

Reviewed June 2024

Omowumi, is patient and kind, she allows me to talk about anything that is present in my mind at that session. I have alot to unpack, my thoughts can get stuck on repeat. With Omowumi I can see I am looking at things differently and trying to put some self care into place. The worksheets I find helpful, even though some I find hard to fill in. I would highly recommend and only wish I had started therapy sooner.

It's not just about being school ready. It's about listening to the purpose of creating a world where healing from trauma is a real thing. My heart is less stressed and I am more calm because I realise I have tools and skills to help me understand

Wumi has been very understanding, professional and caring since day 1. I have been to therapy before and I have not felt the need to start again with Wumi, she has understood me at the point of where I am in life right now. Her years of experience shows when you are with her.

Reviewed February 2024

Omowumi has been very helpful in helping me process childhood trauma, family relationships, parenting and breaking cycles. I look forward to my sessions where she offers perspectives that connect how the mix of my life experiences has culminated into more recent painful issues. These issues had felt insurmountable recently. But with her help, I now feel capable of acknowledging the complexity of each person’s life circumstances and more accepting of limitations or and with family members. I’m even newly hopeful of the future of these relationships with this type of help to deconstruct, connect the dots, understand, empathize.

Wumi helped me greatly with the issues I faced at work by advising me to take the first step of speaking to my management about issues I was facing and appropriate steps to protect myself from being taken advantage of such as setting boundaries. She is very patient and listened thoroughly to the issues and concerns I was facing, making sure to cover all grounds of how I was feeling. She would also make sure to check in with me on how things were going and is very responsive. Overall my experience with her was fantastic and I would highly recommend Wumi.

Reviewed May 2023

Really unhelpful in booking first appointment, I am looking for a proactive therapist and would appreciate therapist that can book a regular therapy slot due to working and childcare a specific weekly slot would be helpful rather than unflexibility that was offered to me on this occasion. Please do better!
