Comfort

Mrs Comfort Alikwe

Clinical Mental Health Counselor

“A mental health counsellor and social worker working predominantly with depressed individuals or groups. I am a result oriented mental health counselor and social worker with experience in helping sad, lonely and depressed people discover their triggers and find coping strategies to better their lives - Talk Therapy”

About Me

I support individuals and groups experiencing sadness, loneliness, or depression. My approach helps you uncover the triggers behind these feelings. Through focused talk therapy, we collaboratively build practical coping strategies to improve your daily life. Clients appreciate my result-oriented style, designed to empower them to move towards lasting well-being.

Approach

Sessions centre on pinpointing the everyday moments that tip you into sadness and then practicing small, practical moves that shift those patterns. In Lagos or online in English, we work at a steady, result-focused pace: focused talk, brief skills to try between sessions, and mindfulness checks that fit your routine so progress feels tangible. For people carrying trauma, low self-worth, or thoughts that scare them, I keep work calm, concrete and safely paced. This way of working suits those who want clear steps and steady change.
