About Funmilayo
Funmilayo Oni is a counsellor with ten years' experience who helps people find more confidence and clearer direction. She trained in person-centred practice and holds BACP accreditation, and she also works as a personal performance coach. Her background makes her comfortable helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps.
She offers a calm, warm presence and a straight‑forward style. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and practical steps to get there.
Background and approach
She aims to help clients build independence and feel more able to manage everyday pressures. Funmilayo supports people facing low self‑esteem, anxiety, depression and stress, and those coping with trauma or abuse. She also helps with workplace concerns, career choices, life purpose questions and issues around self‑love and body image.
Parenting and family problems are part of her areas of focus too. Her approach is primarily client‑centred, which means she follows the person’s agenda and pace. She incorporates solution‑focused ideas to set short‑term, achievable goals and uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern.
Sessions are tailored to each person rather than taking a one‑size‑fits‑all route. People can expect a non‑judgemental atmosphere and straightforward conversation about steps forward. She combines coaching tools with counselling to help translate insight into action.
The aim is practical progress and clearer choices, not labels or lengthy theory.

How therapeutic styles work in online sessions
Client‑centred therapy puts the person’s experience first, with the counsellor following their lead and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they clarify what they want to change. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship patterns and practical strategies for communication and conflict; it is useful when interaction styles or parenting dynamics are part of the issue. Solution‑focused therapy looks for small, concrete steps that move someone toward their goal and is useful when quick, practical change is wanted.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means agreeing together which techniques to try and checking how well they help as sessions progress.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and non‑verbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible, on‑the‑go support. These options let people access counselling from different locations and at times that work with work, parenting or travel commitments.
