About Filomena

Filomena Fanuele is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. Filomena also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, addiction-related strain, intimacy issues and sleep difficulties.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, so sessions focus on listening and reflecting rather than on giving directives. She aims to make space for people to talk through what matters to them, and to notice patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations are straightforward and practical, with attention to feelings and daily life impacts.

Filomena often helps clients who feel overwhelmed by caring roles or who recognise people-pleasing and codependent patterns in their relationships. She works with communication problems, isolation and career or life-stage shifts such as midlife concerns. When trauma and past abuse are present, she supports pacing and coping while people make decisions about next steps.

Sessions are offered in English and Italian. Filomena uses the counselling relationship to help people build clearer boundaries, strengthen self-regard, and develop calmer ways of handling stress and panic. She encourages small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.

To begin, people complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Filomena uses a subscription-based session model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How sessions work

How her client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy in Filomena's practice means the counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the client brings to the session. This approach helps when people want to untangle grief, low self-esteem, feelings of people-pleasing or the stress of caregiving by talking through their experiences and reactions. It is a straightforward way of working that concentrates on the client's perspective and priorities rather than on techniques imposed by the counsellor.

The best therapeutic approach often emerges together. Filomena will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, checking in about goals, pace and whether to try different ways of addressing issues like panic, sleep disruption or codependent patterns. People and problems can change over time, and the plan can change too.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoiding being on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while helping clients focus on clearer boundaries, steadier coping and improved self-regard.
