Abiola Alawoya

Counseling Psychologist

“Hi there, I am an empathetic Counselling Psychologist with about two decades of diverse work experience in People Management. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space, where we can together explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours while discovering your areas of growth. Talk to you soon.”

About Me

As an empathetic Counseling Psychologist, my two decades in People Management offer a unique perspective. I help individuals navigate professional challenges and personal growth. In our safe, non-judgmental space, we collaboratively explore your thoughts and feelings. This allows us to uncover your strengths and develop practical ways forward. My background helps me understand the pressures you face. I am a good match for those seeking both personal and professional clarity.

Approach

My sessions feel collaborative and paced to your needs, blending attentive listening with targeted reflections that help you notice patterns and choices. I meet clients in Lagos and online, working in English so our meetings fit your schedule and context. We use short mindfulness practices, gentle unpacking of difficult memories, and small between-session experiments to build coping, clarify identity and strengthen relationships after hurt. This approach suits people seeking practical change alongside emotional understanding.
