Olufunmilayo Hinmikaiye welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxious thoughts, low mood or struggles with self-esteem. She helps people who are wrestling with relationship problems, life changes, parenting strain, or questions about intimacy and purpose. Olufunmilayo makes space for each person to tell their story at their own pace.

She uses a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on listening, building on strengths, and helping people notice what matters most to them.

Background and approach

The aim is to support practical change in everyday life rather than only talking about feelings. Olufunmilayo has five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Her background includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and the impacts of trauma and abuse.

She also offers help for chronic pain, illness and disability related challenges. People come to her with a wide range of concerns such as sleep and eating problems, anger, guilt and shame, or feelings of isolation and loneliness. She also works with issues like forgiveness, communication difficulties and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are paced to each person, with practical steps and reflective conversation as needed. Her style is warm and respectful, aiming to empower clients to test new ways of coping. She supports people who want clearer priorities, better boundaries, or more self‑love.

The focus is on achievable changes that fit everyday life.

Client-centred support online and how it helps

Client‑centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the counsellor listens closely and follows the person's lead. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard, build self‑trust, and decide their own next steps for issues like anxiety, low mood or relationship worries.

In sessions the focus is on recognising a person's strengths and priorities. The counsellor offers reflective listening, gentle clarification and practical ideas when wanted. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to find what fits their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let people see visual cues and have a fuller conversation when time allows. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or a written way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and health commitments while keeping therapy consistent and approachable.
