About Filomena

Filomena Fanuele offers practical support for parents and individuals facing common but heavy challenges. She helps people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress and relationship tensions. Filomena aims to make the first step feel less daunting and to provide steady support as people work toward clearer goals and calmer days.

She creates a warm, accepting space where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings. Conversations focus on understanding what matters to each person and finding manageable ways to cope.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and conversational rather than overly technical. Filomena uses client-centred therapy, which means the work follows the client’s pace and priorities. She listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can notice patterns and make changes that fit their life.

This approach is often helpful for emotional pain, relationship strains and life transitions. Her background includes four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Filomena offers sessions in English and Italian and practices across common concerns such as parenting stress, caregiving strain, codependency and issues around intimacy and self-worth.

People choose to work with her to find clearer direction, build self-trust and reduce overwhelm. Conversations typically include practical ideas to try between sessions and check-ins on what is, or isn’t, helping.

Online support

How client-centred work fits with online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s pace. This approach helps with grief, relationship stress, parenting strain and feelings of low self-worth by keeping the work grounded in what matters to the client.

In practice the sessions are conversational. Filomena will help the client and therapist decide together which methods feel right. That might mean focusing on emotional processing one week and practical coping steps the next. The choice of approach is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, shorter conversations or times when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on steady, personalised support.
