My treatment methods

Compassion Focused

I have experience with compassion-focused treatment for people with mental health problems that involves guided visualizations, compassionate imagery, and other techniques to break the routine of self-criticism and improve emotional regulation. This method is used in my practice to help my patients learn the key skills required to develop the key aspects and attributes of compassion, i.e., care for well-being, sensitivity, distress tolerance, empathy, and non-judgment attitudes towards oneself.

Funmilayo listened, asked the right questions, and actually understood my issues. This is the first time I’ve felt accurately assessed instead of just being told I have “depression and anxiety.” I left with a clear plan and real hope.

It was a pleasant experience talking with her. I could tell she thought a lot about what I was telling her.

Very warm and nice to talk to. Easy to open up to. Listened to previous concerns about medication sensitivity and introduced me to a new option that has greatly helped.
