Filomena Fanuele, BACP

Filomena Fanuele is a counsellor who supports people facing grief, depression, anxiety, stress and midlife crisis. She also helps with self-esteem, confidence, relationship and family concerns, and issues linked to trauma, addiction and sleep. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and are grounded in a warm, non-judgemental approach. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs. That means the focus is on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers rather than telling them what to do. Filomena aims to build a calm space where clients can talk through painful feelings and make practical changes at a comfortable pace. Filomena has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She works with people on problems such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, as well as concerns about life purpose and isolation. In a typical meeting she helps clients name what matters most, spot patterns that keep them stuck, and try small steps to shift things. Conversations often cover coping strategies for daily life, ways to improve sleep and routines, and clearer communication with others. To begin, people use the site process to match with her and schedule sessions when convenient. The subscription model is used for fees and can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what is said and offers acceptance so people can explore painful feelings. This approach can help with grief, low self-esteem, relationship worries and the doubts that often arise during a midlife crisis.

Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and supporting them to find practical next steps. The counsellor and client decide together how to work, which keeps the process collaborative and responsive to changing needs.

If you are considering online sessions, please check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find online therapy useful because it makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduces travel time and allows steady continuity when life feels chaotic. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when they need quick support or choose video when face-to-face interaction helps them feel more connected.

Finding the right match between approach and format is part of the process. The therapist will help figure out what works best for goals, schedules and personal preferences, and adapt the way of working as needed.
