Zainab Adenuga

Student Counsellor, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) 

As a Nigerian and Yoruba woman, I understand the cultural reservations that can sometimes surround conversations about mental health. In many communities, emotional struggles may be viewed through the lenses of stigma, spirituality, family expectations, or personal strength, making it difficult for individuals to seek professional support. My passion is to help bridge this gap by making mental health conversations more accessible, culturally responsive, and free from shame, both within my culture and beyond.

My therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, and culturally responsive practices. I value collaboration, empathy, and the creation of a safe space where clients can explore their experiences without judgment.

I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals navigating life transitions, identity, stress, anxiety, relationships, and the complexities of cultural and intergenerational experiences.

I am most comfortable providing therapy in English and welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
