About Olufunmilayo

Olufunmilayo Hinmikaiye is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters to each person. Her work also covers relationship struggles, self-esteem, parenting challenges and coping with life changes.

She emphasises that the client is the expert in their own story. Sessions aim to build on a persons existing strengths and practical solutions. The therapist offers steady support while people test new ways of coping and making decisions.

Background and approach

Olufunmilayo uses client-centred therapy, which means the conversation is guided by the clients priorities. The approach values empathy, active listening and meeting people where they are. It often suits those who want a non-directive space to talk things through and make sense of their feelings.

Over five years she has worked with concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing chronic pain, illness or disability, and those dealing with isolation, guilt or questions about life purpose. This background informs a practical, steady way of working.

Sessions are offered in English and she is based in the United Kingdom. Olufunmilayo holds BACP accreditation and aims to help people feel heard, make small changes, and build confidence in handling lifes challenges.

Online support

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy places the clients experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and follows the clients lead. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and parenting stress by creating space to talk and make sense of feelings.

That same client-led stance adapts well to talking online. Sessions focus on what the person needs most, whether that is processing past hurts, building coping skills for day-to-day stress, or working through changes in life. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose the most helpful way of working and will adjust the approach as goals evolve.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat can suit shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and make regular contact easier for many people.
