Olufunmilayo Hinmikaiye, BACP

Olufunmilayo Hinmikaiye helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for worries about relationships, self-esteem, depression and coping with difficult events. Her approach aims to make big problems feel more manageable so people can take small, steady steps forward.

Olufunmilayo uses a client-centred way of working. That means she listens closely and follows the person's pace and priorities. Clients lead the conversation while she offers reflective feedback and practical ways to try things differently. Sessions are conversational and focused on the person's own goals.

She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes helping with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and anger. She also supports people managing chronic pain, illness or disability and those coping with grief, guilt or shame.

She works with a wide range of everyday struggles such as loneliness, social anxiety, communication problems and finding life purpose. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking are brought into sessions alongside emotional support. Olufunmilayo aims to empower people to trust their own strengths as they work through hard times.

Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The initial steps are simple and meant to fit into a busy life.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening with care and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects what is said, helps clarify feelings and priorities, and supports people to build on their own strengths. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-worth, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

That style fits well with conversational formats such as video and phone work because the person directs what feels most important. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which ways of working suit their goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions and is adjusted as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals and come in several practical formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for a simpler connection, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits, and they allow people to choose what feels most comfortable for each meeting.
