About Funmilayo
Funmilayo Oni brings a decade of hands-on experience to conversations about work, relationships and wellbeing. She describes her own journey through low self-esteem, and uses that perspective to help others find clearer ways forward. Funmilayo is a BACP counsellor and an accredited personal performance coach. She blends coaching and counselling to help people set and reach practical goals.
Her practice centres on a person-led approach. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the client. From there she helps people set short-term goals and try small changes that build confidence and clarity over time.
Funmilayo often supports people coping with stress, anxiety and depression. She also works with concerns such as parenting strain, relationship difficulties, anger and trauma and abuse. Career questions, workplace issues and searching for life purpose are common topics she addresses.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. Clients can expect practical tools alongside reflective discussion, with attention to what fits their daily life.
Funmilayo works with people who want both counselling and coaching elements. She encourages people to define realistic goals and to build the skills that keep progress going after sessions end.
