Anxiety and worry
The kind that keeps you awake at 2am rehearsing conversations, or makes your chest tight before something ordinary.
Talking to someone about your mind is not a weakness, and it is not a last resort. Most people who come here are simply carrying something that has got heavier than it needs to be.
Before you decide whether to book, or whether this is for you, or whether it is silly — try this. It is a 4-7-8 breath, which slows the heart rate and settles the nervous system. It is the same thing we start most first sessions with.
It is not a treatment for anything. It is a way of noticing that your body and your mind are connected, which is usually the first useful thing to discover in therapy.
People arrive here for all sorts of reasons, and most of them are not dramatic. If something is sitting with you and you cannot put it down, that is reason enough.
The kind that keeps you awake at 2am rehearsing conversations, or makes your chest tight before something ordinary.
When things you used to enjoy have gone flat, or getting through a day feels like more effort than it should.
Things that happened, that you have coped with, that still arrive uninvited. You do not have to describe them on the first day.
Couples work, family strain, the particular weight of expectations in a Nigerian household.
For teenagers who will not talk to their parents, and for parents who do not know how to reach them.
Bereavement, miscarriage, the end of something that mattered. Grief does not follow a schedule.
The exhaustion that sleep does not fix, and the guilt about feeling it when you are, by every outward measure, doing well.
New country, new baby, new job, retirement, divorce. Change is not always a crisis, but it is always an adjustment.
If none of these fit and you cannot explain why you are here, come anyway. That is a very common way to start.
The unknown is usually worse than the thing itself. So here is exactly what the process looks like.
Fifteen minutes, free, no obligation. You tell us roughly what is going on and we tell you honestly whether we are the right people and who would be the best match. If we are not, we will say so and suggest somewhere that is.
Fifty minutes. Nobody makes you talk about anything you are not ready to. A lot of first sessions are spent on what brought you here and what you would like to be different. You can stop at any point.
The next few sessions are about understanding the pattern — not just what is happening, but how it works and what keeps it going. This is usually where people start to feel less alone in it.
Weekly at first, then less often as things settle. Some people come for six sessions, some for a year. There is no minimum and no contract, and you can pause whenever you need to.
Therapy should end. When you are ready, we plan the last few sessions properly rather than letting it trail off — because how something ends matters as much as how it started.
This is the part people worry about most, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a reassuring one.
What you tell your therapist is confidential. We do not tell your family, your employer, your church, your doctor or anyone else. We do not keep records that anyone outside the practice can read.
There are three narrow legal exceptions, and you deserve to know them before you begin rather than after.
Outside those three things, nothing leaves the room. If you have questions about this, ask them on the first call — before you have told us anything.
All our clinicians are registered and supervised, and work to a professional code of ethics. Supervision itself is confidential and anonymised.
Five clinicians. You will be matched to the one who fits what you are bringing, not simply to whoever is free.
Works with anxiety, trauma and adult survivors of difficult childhoods. Trained in CBT and EMDR.
The only prescriber on the team. Sees people where medication may genuinely help, and is as willing to say when it will not.
Couples work and family strain. Particularly experienced with the pressures of extended family and expectation.
We do not sell bundles of sessions. You pay per session and you stop when you are ready to stop.
With a clinical psychologist. In person in Lagos or by video.
Longer sessions, because couples work needs the room to breathe.
With the consultant psychiatrist, where medication may be part of the picture. Follow-ups are ₦45,000.
We hold a small number of reduced-fee places for people who need them. Ask on the first call — you will not be asked to justify yourself, and it will not affect how you are treated.
Please do not wait for an appointment. This section is here so that anyone who needs it can find it quickly.
Fifteen minutes, free, and there is no obligation to book anything afterwards. Tell us a little and we will call you back.
Please do not use this form to describe anything urgent or in detail — a sentence is enough. We will talk properly on the call.
Everything you send here is confidential and is seen only by the clinician handling your request.
