Funmilayo Oni

Funmilayo Oni is a counsellor with ten years' experience who began her path after overcoming long-term low self-esteem. She trained in person-centred ways of working and went on to add coaching and relationship support to her practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and of the International Coaching Federation, and uses that combined experience to help people make steady change.

She aims for simple, practical conversations that uncover what is getting in the way of a better life. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps. She listens without judgement and helps people plan ways to boost confidence, manage stress, and cope with difficult emotions such as anger or depression.

Her work includes support around relationship issues, communication problems, infidelity, and parenting strain. She also helps with career questions, workplace difficulties, body image and finding life purpose. Coaching-style conversations sit alongside counselling when people want help setting and reaching practical goals.

In sessions she uses a client-centred stance and draws on solution-focused ideas to identify what will change first. She also incorporates aspects of the Gottman Method for relationship conversations when relevant. The emphasis is on empowering the individual to build skills and make choices that fit their life.

Funmilayo offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens carefully and follows the individual's pace, helping them name feelings and decide what matters most. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and on what will look different when things improve; it suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented work. The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication and handling conflict, and is used when relationship conversations are needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor discusses your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you decide whether a person-centred focus, solution-focused steps or relationship tools best match the current problem and the pace you want.

The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, manage follow-up tasks between meetings, or check in briefly when a short touchpoint is useful. The biography does not list which exact session formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking to ensure they suit your circumstances.
