At the Chartered Institute of Counseling in Nigeria (CICN), the Faculty of Relationship, Couple, and Family Counseling is committed to strengthening the heart of society; the family. We train skilled counselors who are equipped to guide individuals, couples, and families through the complexities of relationships, communication, and emotional connection.
Our programs blend relationship psychology, family systems theory, and practical counseling techniques, providing students with the tools to foster healthy bonds, resolve conflict, and support clients through life transitions. Through interactive lectures, supervised practice, and case-based learning, we prepare graduates to handle issues ranging from pre-marital preparation to marital crises, parenting challenges, divorce recovery, and blended family dynamics.
Guided by a faculty of seasoned relationship therapists, family counselors, and researchers, our students gain not only professional competence but also cultural sensitivity and ethical integrity. We champion the values of love, respect, and commitment while promoting modern, evidence-based approaches to relational wellness.
The Faculty of Relationship, Couple, and Family Counseling is more than an academic pathway, it is a mission to restore trust, rebuild bonds, and inspire lasting change in homes and communities.
