Background and approach

She also uses solution-focused methods to set clear goals and practical steps. The Gottman Method is part of her work when relationship patterns need closer attention. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at building the client’s independence.

Funmilayo helps people notice stuck patterns and try small, manageable changes. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person in the room. She works with common concerns such as depression, parenting stress, workplace issues, body image and communication problems.

She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, infidelity, anger, and finding life purpose. Coaching can be used alongside counselling to focus on practical goals and performance. Funmilayo offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Appointment formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship by following the client's priorities; it is helpful where people need empathy and a space to make sense of feelings. The Gottman Method looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people learn practical skills to improve communication and reduce conflict. Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, achievable steps that move someone toward their goals, and it often suits people wanting clear, short-term change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt techniques if something is not working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their life. Video calls let you talk face to face from anywhere. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, note-taking, or times when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
