Funmilayo Oni
Helping people build confidence and clarity
About Funmilayo
Funmilayo Oni is a counsellor with a decade of experience in helping people understand and overcome barriers to feeling good about themselves. She trained within a person-centred framework and holds BACP, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists membership. Her background includes work across low self-esteem, depression, relationship strains and performance coaching support.
She often starts by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear, realistic goals and practical steps.
Background and approach
She aims to help people notice small changes that build real confidence and resilience over time. Her approach mixes client-centred care with elements of solution-focused therapy and relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method. That combination lets sessions stay warm and empathetic while remaining goal oriented and practical.
Clients can expect a steady focus on what they want to change and how to get there. Funmilayo describes herself as warm and non-judgemental. She tailors her work to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Conversations may include exploring values, setting achievable actions, and practising new ways of communicating. People turn to her for help with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, workplace difficulties and navigating life changes. She also works on issues around body image, self-love, communication problems and finding purpose.
Her aim is to support people so they can make choices that reflect their goals and feel more able to move forward.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises understanding your perspective and following your pace. The counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting and helping you clarify what matters most so you can decide next steps.The Gottman Method is relationship-informed work that looks at communication patterns and practical skills for managing conflict. It can help people wanting clearer conversations and better problem-solving in important relationships.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. Sessions identify strengths and next steps so progress can be tracked between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as things progress to suit each person’s needs.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief practical exchanges, or need greater scheduling flexibility.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while allowing consistent contact with registered or accredited professionals and counsellors.
