Funmilayo Oni

Funmilayo Oni is a counsellor with ten years of client-facing experience. She holds BACP and has worked in areas such as low self-esteem, depression and relationship strain. Her background includes both counselling and personal performance coaching, and she draws on that mix to support people who want change.

She speaks plainly in sessions and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space. Funmilayo helps people identify practical steps toward clearer goals. She focuses on what a person needs now and how to build confidence to move forward.

Her style is grounded in person-centred values. That means she listens first and helps clients lead the direction of the work. She also uses solution-focused ideas to spot small changes that add up over time and Gottman Method principles for relationship work when relevant.

Funmilayo works with common life issues such as stress, anxiety, workplace problems, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, body image and infidelity. Women’s issues and questions about life purpose and self-love are listed among her focus areas.

Sessions combine coaching and counselling where useful. The aim is to help clients become more independent and reach goals they set together. People who prefer a calm, practical approach tend to find her style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them clarify their own goals. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to build confidence at their own pace.

The Gottman Method brings practical skills for relationship conversations and managing conflict. It uses clear steps to improve communication and repair patterns that cause repeated arguments, which can be useful for partners wanting straightforward tools.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that lead to better outcomes. Sessions often set short-term goals and notice what is already working, so progress can be seen quickly.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit what the client needs. They aim to combine counselling and coaching techniques where appropriate so the work stays focused and practical.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can help fit work or family life by reducing travel time and making it easier to attend regular sessions. It can also allow shorter check-ins, quieter scheduling options or telephone-based sessions if needed, depending on what the therapist offers.
