Funmilayo Oni, BACP

Funmilayo Oni trained as a counsellor and coach after personal experience with low self-esteem shaped her interest in helping others. She holds BACP membership and brings ten years of professional practice to sessions. Funmilayo aims to help people find practical solutions and build confidence at their own pace.

Her background combines a person-centred foundation with an integrative approach. That means she begins by listening and creating a non-judgemental space, then adds methods that suit each person’s needs. She has experience with depression, relationship and marriage-related issues, low self-esteem, and conflict resolution.

Funmilayo also works with clients on parenting stress, anger, trauma and abuse, career concerns and workplace issues. Additional areas include body image, communication problems, infidelity, life purpose and self-love. She describes her role as guiding people towards independence and clearer goals.

Sessions tend to be warm and straightforward. She aims to tailor each session to the individual, setting clear, achievable goals together. People who want practical coaching alongside counselling often choose this combined style.

Funmilayo is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore feelings and build self-trust; this helps with low self-esteem and emotional distress.

The Gottman Method uses practical tools for relationship issues. It includes communication techniques and ways to manage conflict, often useful when people want clearer patterns and practical steps in partnerships.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. Sessions look for existing strengths and quick steps that move someone toward their goals, which can feel empowering during life transitions or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods best suit the situation. This collaborative process can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier by reducing travel and allowing sessions around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and telephone or video choices can accommodate people who prefer not to use a camera.
