About Funmilayo
Funmilayo Oni brings a decade of experience to her counselling work. She holds BACP accreditation, and she combines a person-centred foundation with practical coaching skills. She aims to help people build confidence and move past what keeps them stuck.
Her tone is warm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on clear, achievable goals. Oni understands what low self-esteem feels like from personal experience, and that informs how she listens. Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative.
How Funmilayo works
Clients can expect to talk through specific problems and leave with steps they can try between meetings. Her practice covers stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and feelings of anger. She also supports people dealing with career questions, life changes, and parenting concerns.
Additional focus areas include body image, relationship communication problems, infidelity, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns. Funmilayo uses Client-Centred Therapy to centre each person’s experience and to build trust. She draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify realistic next steps.
The Gottman Method informs her work on relationship patterns and communication skills. She describes herself as compassionate and approachable. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, with coaching or counselling paths chosen depending on goals.
People who want practical, goal-oriented support alongside empathic listening may find her style helpful.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions using this approach are about listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping clients find their own answers. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals; it works well for short-term, action-orientated work such as tackling stress, anxiety, or career decisions. The Gottman Method is used for improving communication patterns and managing conflicts, offering concrete skills that can be practised between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and agree on an approach together. That may mean combining person-centred listening with solution-focused tasks or using Gottman-informed exercises where communication is the main concern.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for times when a quieter voice-only check-in fits a busy schedule. Live chat or messaging can work for short updates, quick coping strategies, or when written reflection helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
