Mrs Abiola Soremekun

Counseling Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

As a Counselor and Mental Health Therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families navigate marital challenges, emotional struggles, relational conflicts, and life transitions with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based strategies.

About Me

As a Certified Marriage and Relationship Counsellor and Mental Health Therapist, I create a space where individuals and couples can feel truly supported. I understand the complexities of mental health and relationship dynamics. I actively advocate for your well-being, helping you feel heard and supported, especially when navigating challenges with mental health or substance use disorder. My aim is to help you find your voice and build stronger connections. We can work together to explore your unique situation and find practical paths forward.

Approach

Sessions focus on co-creating clear, practical strategies that bring compassion and evidence into everyday choices around relationships, mental health issues and substance use. I work with clients in Lagos and online in English, pacing sessions to balance emotional processing, skill practice and goal setting, and I offer coaching between meetings when helpful. Therapeutic conversations blend structured tools with faith-sensitive reflection and advocacy when navigating systems, so changes feel manageable rather than overwhelming. This approach suits people seeking clear steps, steady accountability and compassionate support through life transitions or recovery.
