A Personal and Understanding Approach
Professional counselling built on empathy, practical experience, and a commitment to helping you find clarity.

About Funmilade Ayannuga
I established Babanuga One to provide a safe, private space for people navigating difficult circumstances, particularly those affected by gambling-related problems.
My approach is grounded in formal counselling qualifications, including a Diploma and an Advanced Diploma in Counselling, alongside nearly 10 years of counselling-related experience.
Crucially, this is supported by over 10 years of professional experience working directly within gambling environments, including roles as a team member and supervisor. This unique background allows me to offer support that is not only clinically informed but deeply practical and empathetic to the realities of gambling-related challenges.
My Approach
I believe that effective support must be calm, respectful, and entirely non-judgmental. Asking for help can feel daunting, especially when issues involve secrecy, financial pressure, or strained relationships.
When we work together, the focus is on you as an individual. I do not use generic programmes or make unrealistic promises. Instead, I offer a reliable, compassionate environment where you can speak openly about what is happening.
My goal is to help you better understand your circumstances, untangle complex emotions, and identify practical, manageable steps forward.
Core Values
