For sessions your therapist has accepted, Mytherapist.ng sends reminders by push notification and email: one on the morning of the session, then 30 minutes and 10 minutes before the start.
What you'll receive
- A same-day reminder in the morning.
- Reminders 30 minutes and 10 minutes before the session. These are skipped once you've already joined.
- A nudge if your booking is still pending, waiting for your therapist to accept.
- A nudge the day after the session asking you to rate it.
Reminders respect your notification settings, so a type you've switched off won't arrive.
If you didn't get a reminder
- Check the booking status. Session reminders only go out once your therapist has accepted; a pending booking gets the pending nudge instead. See appointment statuses explained.
- In the app, open Settings → Notifications and make sure appointment reminders are on.
- Allow notifications for Mytherapist.ng in your phone settings, then log out and log back in. See I'm not getting notifications.
- Check your email, including spam. Reminders go there too.
Reminders are a backstop, not the only way to know. Your upcoming session is always on the Home screen under "Happening Next".
