Why see a therapist who focuses on general mental health and wellbeing
You do not need a crisis or a label to see a therapist. Many people come because something is off: they feel lonely in a full house, stuck in a life that looks fine from outside, flat about things they used to enjoy, or they keep making the same choices and want to understand why. Others want a place to think out loud about a big decision, or to build habits that hold up under pressure. The therapists here work with all of that.
Sessions are inside the Mytherapist.ng app, by video, voice or chat. You book a time that suits you and pay in the app. Some people come weekly for a season; others book a session when they need one. Both are fine.
This page suits anyone who has been thinking about therapy and does not know where they fit, people who feel lonely or disconnected, people adjusting to a big change like moving, marriage, a new baby or returning from abroad, and anyone who wants to understand themselves better before a problem grows. If it turns out you need something more specific, your therapist will say so and point you to the right specialty.
A first session is a conversation about how life is going, what you would like to be different and what has helped before. There is no test to pass. Browse the therapists below to compare backgrounds and rates, and book when you are ready.

Good to know
Questions people ask about general mental health and wellbeing
Do I need a diagnosis to see a therapist?
No. Most people who see a therapist never receive a diagnosis and do not need one. If you have been feeling off, stuck or lonely, that is reason enough. If a diagnosis would help, a clinical psychologist here can carry out an assessment.
What if I don't know what to talk about?
That is common, and your therapist will help. The first session usually starts with how life has been lately and what made you book. Most people find that once they start, the real subject shows up on its own.
How often should I come?
Weekly is the usual start, because it keeps momentum. After a few sessions many people move to fortnightly or monthly. There is no minimum, and you can stop whenever you want.
Is it confidential?
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.
How much does it cost?
Each therapist sets their own rate, from ₦15,000 a session. Some therapists offer a student rate or a free first consultation, and it shows on their profile below.
