Questions

Things people ask before starting

Is it really confidential?

Yes. Sessions are private video calls, your notes are encrypted, and we follow Kenya's Data Protection Act. Your therapist won't share what you say without your consent, except where the law requires it to keep someone safe.

Do I need a diagnosis or referral?

No. You can book for anything that's weighing on you: stress, sleep, relationships, grief, work, or just needing to talk.

What do I need for a video session?

A phone or laptop with internet. Sessions are built to work on slower mobile connections too.

How do I pay?

Your first 30 minutes are free. After that you pay per session with M-Pesa; you'll get a prompt on your phone when you book.

Can I switch therapists?

Anytime. Just book your next session with someone else. No explanation needed.

Is this for emergencies?

No. If you or someone near you is in danger, call Befrienders Kenya on 0800 723 253 or go to the nearest hospital.
