Background and approach
That usually means clients lead the conversation while she listens closely and reflects back what matters most. From there she combines solution-focused strategies to identify small, achievable changes and support steady progress. Her relationship work draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and repair connection.
She supports those dealing with relationship conflict, infidelity concerns and communication problems in straightforward terms. She also works with common mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and trauma and abuse. Funmilayo helps people with parenting strain, career decisions and workplace issues.
She also addresses life purpose, body image, self-love and confidence-building. Sessions can include coaching elements when clients want focused, goal-oriented work. She sees clients across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
Conversations take place in English and are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the client feels heard and can discover their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs space to examine self-worth, life changes or emotional pain.The Gottman Method concentrates on improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships. It involves practical exercises and clearer ways to talk about tough topics, which can help repair trust and reduce repeated fights. This work is useful for people dealing with infidelity concerns, communication problems or ongoing relationship tension.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, concrete changes that add up over time. Sessions target realistic goals and steps clients can try between meetings, which is helpful for stress, career decisions and building confidence.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the work as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins without video, live chat suits quick exchanges, and text-based messaging lets clients write when it suits them. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress.
