Student discount

Verify instantly with a .edu.ng, .edu or .university email, or upload a document. Student rates are set per therapist.

Updated 9 October 20262 min readBy the Mytherapist.ng support team

If your school email ends in .edu.ng, .edu or .university, you can verify as a student in about two minutes: open the Profile tab, tap "Student discount", choose "Verify with your student email", and enter the code we send. Each therapist sets their own student rate.

Where to find it

  • Profile tab, then "Student discount".
  • The "Access student discounts" card on the home screen.
  • A therapist's profile, where an unverified student sees "Are you a student? Tap to verify and unlock." on the price card.
  • Profile → Edit profile → Student ID tab, where your verification status lives.

Verify instantly with your school email

  1. Choose "Verify with your student email", the green card with the Instant badge.
  2. Fill in your school, department, current year and expected graduation year, then your school email.
  3. Tap "Send Code" and check that inbox for an email called "Verify Your Student Email". The code works for five minutes.
  4. Type the code into the app. It verifies on the last digit and your status goes active straight away.

Can't find the email? Wait a minute, then check spam. Once the countdown runs out, tap "Resend". There's a limit on how many codes you can request in an hour.

Verify with a document

No school email? Upload a student ID, admission letter or school-fees receipt instead. It's reviewed within a few days and your status changes in the app.

What you get

Some therapists discount sessions by half, and some qualify for up to 100% off. Use the "Student Discount" filter when browsing, and the student price shows on the profile before you book. There's no code to enter at checkout.

Your student status lasts 12 months. After that, verify again.

Verified but still paying full price?

Student pricing is per therapist. If a therapist's profile has no student tier, you pay full price there. Also check on your Student ID tab that your status is active and hasn't expired.

One school email verifies one account, and only school-issued addresses work for the instant route. If you see "You can not apply for a student account.", you've already applied; check your status on the Student ID tab.
