Grief and Loss Therapists in Nigeria

Grief is the price of having loved someone, and it does not keep to a timetable. In Nigeria the burial brings everyone, and then the house empties and the real grief starts: the silence, the WhatsApp number you cannot delete, the anger at relatives who fought over property, the guilt about what you did or did not do. Some losses get no ceremony at all, like a miscarriage, a stillbirth, a breakup, a job, or a country you left behind.

Sessions happen inside the Mytherapist.ng app, by video, voice or chat, so you can talk from wherever you are, including from abroad if you could not travel home. You book and pay in the app. Many people find grief easier to speak about to someone outside the family, who will not need comforting in return.

This page suits anyone whose loss is recent and overwhelming, anyone whose grief has gone on for a year or more without easing, anyone who feels stuck in guilt or anger, and anyone grieving a loss that others do not recognise. Grief therapy is not about moving on or forgetting. It is about carrying the loss in a way that lets you live.

A first session is mostly space to tell the story of who you lost and how. Your therapist listens for where you are stuck and what you need, whether that is to talk, to make sense of the death, or to deal with the family fallout around it.
