Mrs Crystal Chigbu

Counselor

“I am an experienced, Certified and Licensed Grief Recovery Specialist/ Grief Therapist. My goal is through ab action program to help you move beyond the death of a loved one, divorce and other losses including Health, Career and Faith.”

About Me

When loss casts a deep shadow, it can feel overwhelming. I help you navigate the profound impact of death, divorce, or shifts in health, career, and faith. As a Certified and Licensed Grief Recovery Specialist, I guide you through a proven action programme. We take practical steps together to help you process these experiences. This structured approach offers a clear path forward, supporting you to move beyond the pain.

Approach

You’ll notice sessions focus on clear, small steps that meet you where grief or life change shows up—practical work, readable tools and space to name what’s shifting. In my Ogudu-based practice and online, we keep a steady, English-speaking pace that fits your rhythm, whether you join from Lagos or elsewhere. Sessions often blend focused coaching, advocacy planning and gentle processing so progress is tracked between meetings with short tasks you can try at home. This approach suits people navigating loss, chronic illness, divorce or major transitions.
