Feeling stuck?

Maybe you’re doing what’s expected. Managing your work, responsibilities, and life on paper. But inside, something’s not sitting right.

You feel low on energy, disconnected, unmotivated or caught in loops of thinking you can’t break. You might not call it depression or anxiety, but you know this version of you isn’t how you want to live.

At Iroko Health, we work with people who look fine on the outside but feel overwhelmed, low, or off-track internally. Therapy helps you:

Slow down the mental overload and emotional tension

Understand what's underneath the patterns keeping you stuck

Rebuild from a deeper, clearer sense of self

What working together looks like at Iroko

Therapy at Iroko is structured, collaborative, and paced to meet you where you are. Some people know exactly what to work on, others need time to figure it out. We make space for both.
Here’s how the process typically unfolds:

01. Free Intro Session

Your journey begins with a free, 15‑minute consultation call, no commitment, just conversation. This is where we’ll explore what’s been feeling off in your life, from work stress to emotional exhaustion, and you’ll see if our approach feels right for you. It’s a chance for you to ask questions, get to know me (Isi Oboh), and get clear on how therapy with Iroko Health could support you. Think of it as our mutual “first look”, an easy, low‑pressure way to get started.

02. Full Assessment Session (60–90 minutes)

If we move forward, our first full session is a deep dive. We’ll map out what’s been showing up in your day-to-day, emotionally, mentally, and behaviourally. We’ll explore what’s been hard to shake, what’s been draining you, and what patterns might be at play underneath it all. This session gives us the groundwork to move forward with clarity.

03. Clarifying Goals

Depending on how the assessment goes, we may begin defining what change looks like, emotionally, cognitively, or relationally. Sometimes this happens in the same session, other times,  it unfolds gradually. We’ll stay flexible, but we’ll always work toward anchoring your therapy in what actually matters to you.

04. Doing The Work

Our sessions become a place to think clearly, feel safely, and experiment with change. We might focus on emotion regulation, mindset patterns, identity conflicts, or nervous system stress, depending on what’s coming up.
It could even be high-functioning anxiety, burnout, emotional disconnection, or questions about who you are now versus who you’ve been, we’ll work through it at a pace that respects your capacity.

05. Check-ins & Adjustments

Therapy isn’t linear. So, we’ll pause at key moments to reflect on what’s shifted—internally or externally—and where you’re still feeling stuck.
From there, we’ll adjust our approach, revisit goals, or move into deeper work. This keeps therapy responsive, relevant, and honest.

People who took the first step

These are the stories of people who once felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and what changed when they reached out.

“I didn’t even realize how far I’d checked out. I was going through the motions, just hoping something would shift. Working with Isi helped me feel like a real version of myself again.”

- J.D

“I used to react out of nowhere. I’d either snap or shut down. Now I catch myself and respond differently. My relationship feels safer, for both of us.”

- B.L

“I finally stopped feeling like everything was on me. I didn’t need to explain everything. I just needed someone to help me sort it through, one step at a time.”
