HALIMA MASON
Holistic Sex & Relationship Therapist | Mental Health Advocate | Podcast Host
My approach integrates trauma-informed therapy with holistic wellness practices. I don’t just address symptoms – I honour your whole self: mind, body, and spirit. Every session is tailored to your unique story, cultural background, and healing goals.
As a holistic sex and relationship therapist, I work with the full spectrum of human experience. This includes traditional therapy concerns like anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as specialised work around sexuality, intimacy, and relationship dynamics. I work with individuals, couples, and partners of all identities and relationship structures. My practice is affirmatively inclusive of LGBTQ+ individuals, kink communities, and diverse relationship dynamics
At the intersection of mental health and sexual wellness
As Director of Wellness for Nigerian Mental Health, I collaborate with 30+ organizations on suicide prevention and wellness initiatives across Nigeria. I’m also the host of Spit or Swallow, Nigeria’s first podcast focused on sexuality and sexual health, which has reached over 200,000 listeners worldwide.
My advocacy work has been featured in Marie Claire Nigeria, DSTV, ThisDay Style, and numerous radio shows and podcasts. I’m committed to normalising conversations about mental health and sexual wellness across Africa and beyond.
