Funmi is a great patient listener and can ask open questions to engage and explore different topics/issues, and she's always respectful. Some areas of improvements are that I would prefer a variety of communication method (i.e. messages + video + calls) to fully engage in the platform and maximize the therapy experience, with a more proactive check-ins from the therapist.

- 10 years' experience

Having suffered from low self-esteem for many years and not knowing what it was that prevented me from enjoying life just being me, I understand now how much difference intervention can make in one's life.
I am a qualified therapist, relationship counselor, and Accredited Personal Performance Coach with over 10 years of experience. my working experience ranges from low self-esteem and confidence, depression, relationship issues, conflict resolution, and other marriage-related problems. I am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapy (BACP). My approach to therapy is integrative but my foundational background is person-centered. My ultimate aim is to ensure my clients find the solutions to their problems and are empowered to become independent individuals.
I am warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to, and I hope you would be comfortable enough to trust and work with me. I will support and work with you tailoring treatment to your unique situation. I am totally non-judgmental in my approach and I believe in meeting you where you are but clearly defining the goals of where you will like to be. So whether you are a counseling client or coaching client, I am fully equipped to empower you to fulfill your dreams.
I am so excited and, looking forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Really good constructive sessions in a safe space. No topic is off the table. I really feel like Funmilayo cares about me and wants to help me.
I only started sessions with Funmilayo earlier this year, after several big life changes, but with her guidance I’ve been able to navigate those experiences, as well as further unexpected difficulties, with self-compassion and patience I did not have even 6 months ago. She has challenged and encouraged me, and each week I learn great lessons from her, acquiring new tools for my toolbox. I’m so glad I found her.
Funmi is an amazing experienced therapist that I strongly recommend.
Funmi helped me build confidence in my abilities to manage stressful moments in a period of transition that felt overwhelming. She was always supportive and shared helpful work sheets and tools that I will take into the future. I always looked forward to our weekly sessions, thank you Funmi.
Funmilayo has been excellent in listening and providing me support during some difficult times and has given a lot of great materials to assist me too
Nice
Funmi has been a wonderful therapist. She has really made me feel empowered and helped me develop the coping mechanisms I need. She was very responsive with messages and ensured she was accessible when I needed sessions. I would definitely recommend her services
Before everything else, Funmi is a great listener. She listen to attentively and comment accordingly. I always felt welcome to share my feeling with her. I appreciate Funmi providing both real examples and analogies to make her points clear and understandable. Alongside her explanations sound simple and easy to relate, they helped me a lot to understand myself better and come to the conclusion for my emotional dilemma in my life.
My sessions with Funmi have been very helpful and I’ve already noticed an improvement since our sessions began. She creates a safe atmosphere and is very kind, supportive & understanding!
Very attentive and listening as well as keeping me focused on the relevant issues :)
Very understanding and supportive
Funmi has made it particularly easy for me to open up, something I had thought I would struggle with and its a credit to her skills that this process has been able to progress as it has.
She is so warm and comforting! She is amazing, have had so far 4 sessions and I can’t thank her enough even just me sharing my feelings, it’s helped a lot just having someone there to listen! Very motivating and kind!
Funmilayo has helped me so much. I needed therapy for various reasons and in the short while we met, I love the bond we have between us. She makes me feel like I am in a safe place and I love the advice she has given me. It really helps and in the 3 sessions I had, it already made a big impact on my life and I will be forever grateful to her.
