Filomena Fanuele, BACP

Filomena Fanuele is a counsellor who supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also helps those dealing with relationship strain, caregiving stress, addiction concerns and changes such as career shifts or parenting pressures. Filomena offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can name hard feelings and start to make small changes.

She uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on each person’s experience. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Filomena listens closely and reflects back what she hears so clients can better understand their thoughts and feelings.

Over four years she has worked with people coping with trauma, panic and obsessive concerns, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to multicultural factors and women’s issues when they arise in sessions. Filomena encourages practical steps alongside emotional work, such as simple routines, communication practice and grounding techniques.

Filomena holds BACP, which is the listed professional credential. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Italian. People who are looking after others and experiencing caregiver stress are welcome to discuss their needs and what might help.

To start, she asks people to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change. The initial conversations aim to identify small, manageable goals and a way forward that fits the client’s life.

Client-centred approaches and online therapy

Client-centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than on labels. The therapist listens without judging, reflects what she hears and helps people name their feelings. This approach can be useful for grief, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and caregiving stress because it creates space to explore what matters to the individual.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Filomena will work with the person to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting the pace and focus as goals and needs become clearer. The emphasis is on collaboration and on setting small, practical steps alongside emotional work.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats before booking since the biography does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or letting people join from a comfortable local setting. Discussing preferences and practicalities at the first meeting helps ensure sessions fit your routine and goals.
