About Funmilayo
Funmilayo Oni is a counsellor with ten years of experience helping people tackle low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP registration, and draws on a background in person-centred work alongside coaching skills to support change. She writes from personal experience of struggling with self-worth, which informs a practical and empathetic way of working.
Clients can expect a warm and non-judgemental presence. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that feel manageable.
Background and approach
The aim is to help people notice progress and build confidence to handle life’s challenges. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, anger and coping with life changes. She also helps with career questions, body image, communication problems and workplace issues.
Relationship matters such as infidelity and family problems are part of her work too. Funmilayo uses person-centred principles as a foundation and combines these with solution-focused techniques. She also draws on elements of the Gottman Method for relationship conversations.
This mix is used to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals. Sessions are intended to help people find their own answers while offering guidance and coaching where useful. Her style is compassionate, straightforward and focused on practical change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. It involves listening without judgement, reflecting feelings and helping the client find their own next steps. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and for people who feel stuck and need a supportive space.The Gottman Method offers practical tools for talking about relationship patterns and improving communication. In online sessions this can mean learning new ways to manage conflict and rebuild trust through guided conversations and exercises the couple can try between appointments.
Solution-Focused Therapy centres on identifying small, achievable changes and using them to build momentum. Online work suits this approach because sessions can focus on short-term goals and quick strategies that fit into daily life.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust as therapy progresses. Clients take an active role in deciding what feels most helpful and realistic for their situation.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
