Filomena Fanuele , BACP

Filomena Fanuele is a counsellor who helps people navigate grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She supports those facing relationship and family struggles, intimacy concerns, parenting strain and career change. Her work also addresses addictions, trauma, sleeping problems and other life transitions. Filomena lists Women's issues among her focus areas and can converse in English and Italian.

Filomena uses a client-centred style that aims to make sessions feel calm and non-judgemental. She offers a space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings at their own pace. The first step is often simply naming what feels hard, then deciding what small change to try next.

With four years of professional experience, Filomena draws on practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions tend to focus on understanding what matters to the person and building on their strengths. She supports people in noticing patterns, trying new coping strategies and setting realistic goals.

Her approach is conversational and empathetic. Filomena encourages clear, simple steps to manage stress, panic, obsessive thoughts or relationship patterns. She also helps carers explore compassion fatigue and people deal with isolation or life purpose questions.

People who prefer work in either English or Italian can choose the language for sessions. Filomena practises in the United Kingdom and uses online formats for meetings, which can suit those balancing busy schedules or more limited time windows.

Client-centred care and online access

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens deeply and reflects what is said so people can better understand their own feelings. This approach helps with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship troubles and issues around self-esteem by encouraging personal insight and choice.

Filomena approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to discover which methods and session formats fit their needs, goals and comfort. Together they will try things, review what helps and adjust the plan as needed to find the right fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break during the day. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer writing to speak or who want quick check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to fit therapy into real-life routines.
