About Funmilayo

Funmilayo Oni is a BACP-registered counsellor and accredited personal performance coach with 10 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She began therapy after facing long-term low self-esteem herself, and that experience shaped her interest in confidence, relationships and life direction.

She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps those managing relationship strain, parenting pressures and family problems. Anger and coping with life changes are listed among her areas of focus.

Her background blends person-centred work with solution-focused techniques and relationship skills from the Gottman Method. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps clients set clear, practical goals. Conversations aim to identify small steps that lead to steadier self-confidence and better day-to-day functioning.

Funmilayo also brings coaching skills to help with career questions, life purpose and personal performance. This can look like short-term coaching agreements or longer counselling work depending on what someone needs. She uses straightforward conversations to map progress and adjust the plan when necessary.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions operate under a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work for anger and relationships

Funmilayo draws on person-centred work, the Gottman Method and solution-focused techniques to help people manage anger and relationship strain. Person-centred work centres the conversation on the client, aiming to clarify what matters most to them and what they want to change. The Gottman Method provides practical communication skills and ways to reduce destructive interaction patterns in partnerships. Solution-focused work looks for small, achievable steps that build forward momentum and lower reactivity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches in session and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process so the plan can shift as progress or new needs emerge.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered and accredited professionals can use these methods effectively in remote work, and Funmilayo blends coaching and counselling tools to suit everyday life demands.
