This page lists Counsellors in Abuja. 2 in all.
What a counsellor does, and how counselling differs from psychotherapy
Everyone on this page describes their work as counselling. A counsellor listens and helps you find your own solutions to problems 1.
The training emphasises the conversation itself. Sessions usually stay close to something happening now: a loss, a relationship, work, a decision. That focus is what most often separates counselling from longer psychotherapy.
A counsellor is not a medical doctor and does not prescribe or diagnose. Ask a counsellor what they work with, and for how long.
What this page filters on

Who registers therapists in Nigeria?
The title you will see is Counsellor.
In Nigeria no statute yet protects the counsellor title or keeps a public register for it, so oversight is voluntary. See the Nigeria page.
