Students
These articles are for students in Nigeria, covering exam stress, money, NYSC, guidance and counselling, and where to find free or low-cost support.
Exams like JAMB, WAEC and university finals can feel as if they decide your whole future, and money often finishes before the semester does. Most universities have a counselling unit, and some, including NOUN and the University of Port Harcourt, say theirs is free for registered students. In secondary schools, guidance and counselling services are still uneven.
Start with managing exam stress and free and low-cost therapy in Nigeria. If you're studying the subject, read what guidance and counselling means.
If you're 18 or over and enrolled at a recognised Nigerian institution, Mytherapist.ng has a student discount on one-to-one and group sessions once you're verified. If you're under 18, talk to a parent, your school counsellor or a doctor. Free lines, including a child helpline, are on our helplines page.
