About Funmilayo
Funmilayo Oni is a BACP counsellor with 10 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She has worked with people facing low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, stress and the strain of life changes. She also supports clients dealing with parenting pressures, workplace problems and questions about life purpose.
She trained with a person-centred foundation and integrates other approaches into her work. In sessions she listens and helps people identify what matters to them. She guides clients to set clear goals and to try practical steps between meetings.
Her experience includes helping people with communication problems, infidelity and family conflict. She also addresses body image concerns, self-love and women’s issues. She describes coaching and counselling as complementary; some clients focus on practical performance goals while others look for emotional healing.
Funmilayo uses solution-focused techniques alongside relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method. She uses these methods to break problems into manageable parts and to build everyday skills people can use outside sessions. The emphasis is on what can change next rather than long theoretical discussion.
People who come to her often want straightforward conversations about what to try and what to stop. Sessions tend to centre on specific problems, clearer communication, and step-by-step plans for moving forward. Practical tools and regular review of progress are part of her way of working.
How her approaches translate to online work
Funmilayo draws on person-centred practice, the Gottman Method and solution-focused techniques in her online sessions. Person-centred work aims to centre the conversation on the client’s experience and what they say matters, helping people clarify feelings and priorities in straightforward terms. The Gottman-informed approach concentrates on practical relationship skills and communication patterns, useful for couples and individuals looking to repair or strengthen interactions. Solution-focused methods look for workable steps and small changes that can be tested between meetings to build momentum.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will explore goals, needs and preferences with each person and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions focused on what the client wants to change next rather than applying one fixed method.
