Mindfulness and Somatic Therapists in Nigeria

Therapy that trains you to notice thoughts, feelings and body sensations as they happen, without being swept away by them. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) are the best-known forms, with good evidence for stress, anxiety and preventing depression from returning. You practise in sessions and for a few minutes each day.

Therapy that works through the body: noticing where tension, fear or grief sit, using breath, grounding and movement to settle the nervous system, and releasing what talk alone cannot reach. It is used especially for trauma and chronic stress. The therapist guides you; nothing physical happens between you, and online it works through your own attention to your body.

No. Mindfulness as used in therapy is attention training, not a religious practice. Christians and Muslims use it alongside prayer, and your therapist can keep it entirely secular. If that matters to you, say so when you book.

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 ₦15,000 a session. Some therapists offer a student rate or a free first consultation, and it shows on their profile below.
