Family and Parenting Therapists in Nigeria

Mytherapist.ng is for adults aged 18 and over, so your child cannot hold an account or join a session here. Sessions about a child are with you, the parent or carer, and much of children's mental health care works that way. If your child needs their own therapist, ask the therapist you book; some see children in person in their own practice and can advise you.

No. One parent working on how they respond at home often changes the whole household. Where both can attend, sessions move faster, especially when the disagreement is between the two of you.

Yes. It will not change your in-laws, but it can change how you and your partner handle them as a team: what you agree in private, who speaks, which battles to drop, and how to set limits without a war. Our post on dealing with in-laws is a good start.

Therapists here help separated parents agree arrangements, keep the children out of adult conflict, and talk to each other without reopening the marriage. Some ex-partners attend together; others each work with a therapist on their own.

Yes, with one limit. What you tell your therapist stays between you. The exception is a risk to life: if your therapist believes there's a real and immediate risk of serious harm to you or to someone else, including a child, they may need to act on it. That can mean contacting emergency services or someone who can reach you. They'll tell you when they're doing this, wherever it's safe to.

Each therapist sets their own rate, from ₦10,000 a session. Some therapists offer a student rate or a free first consultation, and it shows on their profile below.
