Online therapy
How online therapy works in Nigeria: booking, joining by video, voice or chat, keeping it private, and how it compares with seeing someone in person. These articles are for anyone who would rather talk to a therapist from home, work or abroad than travel to a clinic.
Online sessions cut out traffic and travel, and they let you reach a licensed Nigerian therapist from outside the big cities, or after you've moved abroad. You need a phone or computer, a decent connection and a private space, which isn't always easy in a shared home. Chat helps there: you can type when talking out loud isn't possible. Moving a session onto a screen doesn't lower your therapist's duty of confidentiality.
