About Funmilayo

Funmilayo Oni draws on personal experience of long-term low self-esteem to inform a compassionate, solution-focused practice that supports people finding greater confidence and life satisfaction. As a qualified therapist, relationship counsellor, and an Accredited Personal Performance Coach, she has spent more than 10 years working with individuals and couples on issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, parenting challenges, workplace difficulties, and relationship concerns.

Her training blends an integrative perspective with a foundation in person-centered practice, which means she prioritises a respectful, non-judgmental stance and adapts methods to each person’s needs. Funmilayo is a member of professional bodies including the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The ICF is a global organisation for coaching professionals, and the BACP is a major UK body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Funmilayo focuses on empowering clients to identify practical solutions and build independence, whether the work is framed as counselling or coaching. She aims to create a warm, approachable space where goals are clarified and treatment is tailored to fit each client’s unique situation. Her practice supports people through life changes, rebuilding self-worth, resolving family or relationship problems, and clarifying career and life purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Funmilayo uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s experience at the centre of the work, offering acceptance and empathy while helping people explore their values and build self-esteem; this approach is useful for low confidence, self-worth concerns, and the emotional effects of life changes. She also draws on the Gottman Method when working with couples, focusing on practical skills for improving communication, rebuilding trust, and resolving recurring conflicts. Solution-focused therapy features in her practice as well, concentrating on identifying strengths, setting achievable goals, and creating step-by-step plans to move forward from specific problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Funmilayo collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so that whether a person needs coaching-style goal work, supportive counselling, or relationship-focused skills training, the chosen approach fits the situation.

Online therapy with Funmilayo is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, or travel, and they provide multiple ways to engage with therapy in a manner that feels most comfortable and accessible to each client.
