Mrs Oluwatoyin Ogunkanmi
Family Therapist
“An experienced, and competent family psychologist, I work with families, parents, and adolescents to have a thriving, emotionally stable family life.”
About Me
I understand that family life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when communication breaks down. My aim is to help you strengthen connections and navigate challenges together. We can explore communication patterns, helping each member feel truly heard. This approach suits families, parents, and adolescents looking for a more stable, harmonious home. I offer a calm, collaborative space where you can find new ways forward.
Approach
To help your family build steady, emotionally safe routines, I guide sessions with clear goals, short practical steps and gentle accountability so progress feels manageable. In Abuja or online, in English or Yoruba, sessions move between reflective listening, brief assessments and coaching exercises that surface interaction patterns and shape new responses. Between meetings I offer simple family tasks and parent check-ins to practice changes and track what works. Those seeking practical, attainable shifts in everyday family life often find this way of working helpful.
