Dr Rosemary Oshiomah - Ogedengbe, PhD
Child Psychotherapist
“A skilled and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist working with children and parents, young adults, families, organisations”
About Me
I guide children, young adults, and their families through life’s complexities. My experienced approach creates a safe, collaborative space where feelings can be explored openly. We work together to foster understanding and build resilience. I also offer insights for organisations to support their wellbeing. This broad expertise means I can support diverse clients, from a child navigating worries to families seeking harmony.
Approach
I focus on helping children, young people and parents find steady ways to understand and respond to distress, turning difficult moments into manageable steps. In Lagos or online, in English, sessions blend gentle conversation, age‑appropriate activities and practical strategies so feelings are named and responses practised between meetings. For adolescents who have experienced abuse we prioritise safety, pacing and small, anonymous choices that rebuild control and trust. This approach tends to suit families and young people who want clear, compassionate support and real‑world change.
