About Me

I am a Counseling Psychologist and Chartered Member practicing in Lagos, Nigeria. I provide assessment, personal development, relationship counseling, and learning support for adolescents dealing with anger, control issues, mood disorders, and abuse.

Approach

My practice blends practical coaching with clinical assessment to help you notice patterns, set small experiments and build clearer boundaries. In Lagos and online, sessions are conducted in English with steady pacing—short checks, focused reflection and agreed tasks between meetings to track progress. I listen for safety and control needs, use structured feedback and gentle challenge to shift behaviour and mood, and invite family or school input when helpful. This approach suits adolescents and adults who want direct, steady steps toward lasting change.
