About

Meet Chris Abojei

Chris Abojei is a clinical psychologist licensed in Nigeria who practises in Canada as a Mental Health Clinician under clinical supervision. For more than a decade he has supported people through grief, trauma, identity shifts and the quiet weight of feeling ‘not enough’, across clinical, community and workplace settings in Nigeria and Canada.

He is the co-founder of Psychaid Wellness Ltd and Psychaid EAP, and served as EAP advisor for Chevron Nigeria, supporting employees and leaders through some of life's hardest seasons. He also brings his own lived experience of mental health challenges, which shapes the warmth and honesty of his work.

Chris created the SAFE Healing Method, a practical four-step framework (Self-Awareness, Acceptance, Forgiveness, Empowerment) that now underpins his sessions, workbook and books, including I'm Good Enough: Finding Freedom Through Self-Acceptance.

Chris also works with organizations on workplace wellbeing and leadership, and is the author of BELONG. ENGAGE. EXECUTE. and The Six Pillars of Thriving Organizations.

Licensed as a clinical psychologist in Nigeria. In Canada, Chris practises as a Mental Health Clinician under clinical supervision and is working toward registration in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The framework

The S.A.F.E. Method

Four pillars that shape every session — a gentle, repeatable path from feeling overwhelmed to feeling steady again.

S

Self-Awareness

Notice what you carry — naming the emotions, patterns and triggers underneath the noise, without judgement.

A

Acceptance

Make room for what is, so it stops running the show. Acceptance isn't approval — it's the doorway to change.

F

Forgiveness

Release the weight you've been holding — toward others, toward circumstances, and gently, toward yourself.

E

Empowerment

Turn insight into small, doable steps. Healing is built one brave, ordinary action at a time.

Trust

Clarity Coaching Session – Let's Explore What's Possible

Feeling emotionally stuck? Whether you're navigating grief from a breakup, heartbreak, childhood trauma, identity shifts, or just that overwhelming sense of being lost — you don't have to figure it all out alone. This 1:1 Clarity Session is your safe space to pause, reflect, and begin again.

Together, we'll explore:

What's really going on beneath the surface

Why you feel the way you do (you're not broken!)

And most importantly — where you go from here

You'll leave with greater clarity, emotional insight, and a simple next step tailored to where you are right now.

You deserve support. And sometimes, all it takes is one conversation to begin your healing.

60-minute private virtual session

Come as you are — no pressure, just presence.

Available virtually to clients in Nigeria, Canada and beyond. Times shown in your local time zone when you book.
