Mrs Itunuoluwa Onifade

Psychologist

“An experienced Developmental Psychologist and Addiction professional working predominantly with parents and those struggling with drug addictions”

About Me

As an experienced Developmental Psychologist and Addiction professional, I support parents navigating complex family dynamics. I also guide individuals seeking to overcome drug addictions. We can explore underlying patterns together, developing practical strategies tailored to your unique situation. My aim is to help you build resilience and find a clearer path forward, fostering understanding and growth.

Approach

With parents and people managing addiction, sessions move between focused problem-solving and gentle exploration of early patterns to help you make immediate, realistic changes. In my Lagos office or via secure online sessions in English or Yoruba, we set short-term goals, track small steps between meetings, and use simple assessments where clarity helps decision-making. Expect practical tools, reflective feedback and collaborative planning paced to your family rhythms or recovery needs. This approach suits those wanting clear, steady progress without pressure.
