What is mental health counselling?
Mental health counselling is a structured conversation with a trained professional about thoughts, feelings, experiences and patterns that may be affecting your wellbeing. Depending on your needs, sessions may help you make sense of a difficult experience, develop coping skills, examine unhelpful thought patterns or decide how to handle a situation in your life.
Counselling is more than receiving advice. A counsellor helps you explore your own experience and work towards goals that matter to you. Those goals might include managing anxiety, processing a loss, expressing your needs more clearly or feeling steadier in daily life.
Psychological interventions can be effective for a range of mental health conditions, particularly depression and anxiety, according to the World Health Organization. The right approach and level of care depend on the individual.
When should you consider seeing a counsellor?
You do not have to wait until a situation becomes a crisis. Some people seek counselling after a specific event. Others notice a gradual change in how they feel or function.
It may be helpful to speak with a counsellor if you:
- Frequently feel anxious, tense or overwhelmed.
- Are grieving a death, separation or another significant loss.
- Feel emotionally drained and find it difficult to recover from stress.
- Have experienced something distressing that still affects you.
- Feel persistently low, withdrawn or disconnected.
- Struggle to set boundaries or express what you need.
- Keep encountering painful patterns in relationships.
- Want to understand yourself better during a period of change.
These experiences do not automatically mean that you have a mental health diagnosis. They are reasons to pay attention to your wellbeing and consider support. If your symptoms are severe or affecting your safety, a broader assessment or additional care may also be needed.

Counselling with Dr. Olubunmi Adetiloye
Dr. Olubunmi Adetiloye holds a PhD in Guidance and Counselling and leads LightHouse Counselling Hub. Her areas of work include trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, emotional overwhelm and relationship concerns.
At LightHouse, counselling begins with understanding your concern. Two people can describe themselves as “overwhelmed” yet need very different kinds of support. One may be recovering from a loss; another may be carrying the strain of work, family responsibilities or an unresolved experience. Your sessions should reflect your circumstances rather than follow assumptions about what you need.
You can use the first appointment to explain what brought you to counselling, ask questions about the process and discuss what you would hope to gain from further sessions.
What happens during the first counselling session?
Starting counselling can feel unfamiliar, particularly if you have never spoken openly about the issue before. You do not need to prepare a perfect explanation.
In an initial session, you may discuss:
- What has been happening recently.
- When you first noticed the concern.
- How it affects your mood, sleep, work or relationships.
- Any support or coping strategies you have tried.
- What you would like to be different.
You may also discuss the practical side of counselling, including how sessions work, confidentiality and whether ongoing appointments would be useful.
You do not have to share every painful detail in your first meeting. If a subject feels difficult to discuss, you can say so. It is reasonable to ask how the counsellor approaches sensitive experiences and what to expect as the work continues.
In-person counselling in Ikeja, Lagos
An in-person session may appeal to you if you prefer sitting with your counsellor in the same room or want a dedicated setting away from home or work. LightHouse offers in-person counselling appointments in Ikeja, Lagos, subject to availability.
The fee is ₦40,000 for a one-hour in-person session. Confirm the appointment time and venue details when booking.
If travelling across Lagos is difficult, consider whether an online appointment would help you attend more consistently. The most suitable format is the one in which you can participate comfortably and privately.
Online counselling with Dr. Olubunmi
Online counselling allows you to meet with Dr. Olubunmi remotely. It may be suitable if you live outside Ikeja, travel frequently, have a demanding schedule or prefer to attend from a familiar setting.
The fee for an online session is ₦20,000. Confirm the session length, platform and other booking details before payment.
To get the most from an online appointment, choose a place where you can speak privately, use a reliable internet connection where possible and allow yourself a little time before and after the session. If privacy at home is difficult, consider another suitable location before booking.
In-person or online: which should you choose?
There is no single format that suits everyone. Consider your privacy, travel time, comfort and ability to attend appointments.

How many counselling sessions will I need?
There is no reliable number that applies to everyone. A person working through a specific decision may have a different goal from someone seeking support after a longstanding or distressing experience.
Your initial discussion can help clarify what you want to work on. As counselling progresses, you and Dr. Olubunmi can review whether the sessions are helping and what support you need next. You can raise questions about progress, frequency or the direction of the work at any point.
Frequently asked questions about counselling in Ikeja
Can I book counselling in Ikeja without a mental health diagnosis?
Yes. You can seek counselling because you are distressed, struggling with an experience or want support with a challenge. You do not need to name or diagnose the problem yourself before making an enquiry.
Is online counselling available if I live outside Lagos?
You can enquire about an online session even if you cannot travel to Ikeja. When booking, confirm that the format is appropriate for your needs and that you can attend from a private space.
Can counselling help with grief or trauma?
Counselling can provide support as you explore how a loss or distressing experience is affecting you. What the sessions involve should depend on your circumstances and readiness. You can ask Dr. Olubunmi about her approach before discussing painful details.
Will my counsellor tell me what decision to make?
Counselling can help you examine your feelings, options and priorities. You remain involved in decisions about your life and the goals you bring to your sessions.
Is what I share confidential?
Ask LightHouse to explain its confidentiality practices and any limits that apply before your first session. You should understand how your information is handled and have an opportunity to ask questions.
What if I need help urgently?
A scheduled counselling appointment is not an emergency response. If you are in immediate danger or think you may harm yourself or someone else, seek urgent help from your nearest emergency department or local emergency services.
Take the first step towards support
Searching for a counsellor can be difficult when you are already feeling overwhelmed. You do not need to settle every question before reaching out. An enquiry can begin with a simple message: what kind of session you want, when you are available and whether there is anything important you would like LightHouse to know before booking.
