Relationship Therapy in Lagos and Online Wherever You Are
Most people do not arrive here in crisis. They arrive tired. Tired of the same argument surfacing in a different disguise, tired of being misunderstood by the person who knows them best, tired of carrying something they have never quite been able to name.
Shelistens Therapy and Consulting is a relationship and emotional wellbeing practice based in Lagos, working with clients in person and online across Nigeria and abroad. We work with individuals seeking clarity, couples wanting to communicate without it ending in conflict, engaged couples preparing properly for marriage, and organisations building teams that can handle pressure without breaking the people in them.
How Sessions Work
Sessions run for an hour, in person at our Lagos office or online by video, whichever suits your circumstances. Most people begin with a short conversation so we can understand what brought you here and agree on what the work should focus on.
We do not work in single sessions. Real change takes more than one conversation, so sessions are structured as a short programme with a clear direction rather than an open-ended commitment with no end in sight.
Everything discussed stays between us. For many people in Lagos, that is the first question, and it deserves a straight answer.
Questions People Ask Before Booking
Will anyone know I am here?
No. What is said in a session stays in the session. If privacy is your main concern, online sessions remove the question entirely.What happens in the first session?
Mostly listening. We want to understand what brought you here and agree what the work should focus on, so you are not spending the next few sessions talking in circles.Do I need to be in Lagos?
No. Online sessions work just as well, and we work with Nigerians living abroad who want someone who understands the cultural weight of what they are navigating.How many sessions will we need?
It varies, but most people have a clear sense of direction within the first few and complete the work in a short structured programme rather than months of open-ended sessions.Does this conflict with my faith?
Not at all. Prayer and counselling are not in competition. Many clients hold both, and the work sits alongside faith rather than replacing it.
Individual Therapy & Self-Discovery
A space to slow down, understand yourself, and make sense of what you’re carrying. We help you gain clarity around your emotions, patterns, decisions, and relationships, so you can show up more grounded and intentional in your life. This is where self-awareness turns into real change.
Couple Therapy
For couples who want to communicate better, resolve conflict differently, and rebuild emotional safety. Our sessions help you understand each other beyond surface arguments and learn healthier ways to connect. It’s not about blame. It’s about alignment, clarity, and growth together.
Premarital Counselling
Marriage should be entered with clarity, not assumptions. We support engaged couples in exploring communication, values, expectations, conflict styles, and emotional readiness before saying “I do.” This is preparation that strengthens foundations, not just relationships.
Consulting, Coaching & Workshops
Our consulting arm, we work with organisations, schools, and communities to strengthen communication, emotional intelligence, leadership, and human connection. Our sessions are practical, structured, and grounded in real-life challenges. This is where insight meets application.
Home Therapy Sessions
For clients who need support in the comfort and privacy of their own space, we offer professional home-based therapy sessions. This service is carefully structured, discreet, and guided by clear safety and professionalism standards for both clients and therapists. It brings the same depth, clarity, and care of our sessions to you, without compromising boundaries or quality.
