Eating Disorders Therapists in Lagos, Nigeria

Eating disorders can strongly affect both the mind and the body, often creating patterns that feel very difficult to break. In therapy, we gently work together to understand these patterns and the emotions behind them. Through small, manageable steps and simple exercises, the goal is to build healthier habits, develop coping skills, and create a more balanced and compassionate relationship with food and with yourself.

I provide compassionate and evidence-based therapy that have been proven to help with eating disorders, such as: - Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and other disorders - Body image concerns and self-esteem - Emotional regulation and coping skills - Nutrition and meal planning support - Trauma-informed care - Mindful eating and self-care practices - Family dynamics and relationship support - Health at Every Size (HAES) principles

Lagos is West Africa's largest city and Nigeria's commercial capital, where the pressures of extreme urban density, economic inequality, and infrastructure challenges create significant mental health strain for residents. Awareness of therapy is growing rapidly, particularly among the city's large young professional and creative class, though stigma remains a meaningful barrier in many communities. English-language therapy is increasingly available through private practices in Victoria Island, Lekki, and Ikoyi, catering largely to professionals, executives, and expatriates. Telehealth has expanded access to therapy considerably, making it possible to connect with practitioners from across Lagos's sprawling metropolitan area.
