In truth, going through our day to day activities and even loads of thoughts can be somewhat challenging. Nguvu Health creates a safe space for you to talk freely and communicate these challenges to licensed therapists that are skilled and adequately equipped to guide you on the right path towards an improved mental health.

There are many benefits to Nguvu Health’s teletherapy platform which includes providing easy accessibility, convenience, flexibility in terms of structuring your schedule as it suits you and at your own pace, while also remaining affordable

One of the biggest benefits is that it makes therapy accessible to people who may not otherwise be able to receive it. People who live in rural areas, have a tight work schedule or who are housebound can still receive quality care.

Teletherapy is convenient for both clients and therapists. Therapy can take place anytime, anywhere. Some people may prefer the comfort of their home when talking about uncomfortable topics. In this case, convenience can enhance the therapeutic experience

Typically, you can receive the same services that you would if you participated in in-person therapy, such as assessment, diagnosis, management, follow-up, and more. Clients can participate in teletherapy through a variety of digital means; Nguvu Health offers both text therapy, where you can exchange text and audio messages with your therapist, and video therapy, which is a scheduled live video session with your therapist.

One of the biggest benefits is that it makes therapy accessible to people who may not otherwise be able to receive it. People who live in rural areas, have a tight work schedule or who are housebound can still receive quality care.

For text therapy, all you just have to do is drop messages for your therapist and he/she will attend to you in a prompt manner but in preparing for a live video session, make sure to find a quiet place in your home where you can speak freely and avoid distractions. It can also be advised to set aside 10 -15 minutes before therapy starts, so as to relax, prepare your mind and direct your focus towards the session

All you need is a good and stable internet connection, a laptop or tablet/phone, a webcam and audio connection (usage of headphones/earplugs are advised for better audio connection). To register/book a session, you would be required to do so through the official Nguvu Health platform wherein all your therapy activities (texting and video calls) would take place and stored in-app for reflection.

There is little difference between the traditional on-site therapy and online therapy (teletherapy). We live in a world that is rapidly becoming more digital and embracing the offers of technology to various sectors of our lives. So, it is a natural progression when it comes to teletherapy. An individual will make a relationship with the therapist based on trust and rapport. A face to face connection is made on the screen and the therapy is delivered the same. The therapist will engage on the screen with the individual the same as they would in an in-person therapy session.

But, of course, online therapy is not for every patient or practitioner. Clients with more serious mental disorders or addictions likely need more treatment than digital therapy can provide, however it serves as a nice first step in treatment for those that need more intensive therapy.

Prior to becoming a practicing therapist on the Nguvu Health platform, these therapists undergo various level of evaluations and must be licensed to practice. While these therapists are skilled on various mental health issues, you would be required to take an interesting trivia which would enable you get matched with a best suited therapist for you.

Understandably, those considering an online form of therapy may have concerns about privacy and confidentiality but we assure you that none of the information shared, even with the therapists are going to be issued to any third party. You can read extensively in our privacy policy.

Anonymity as well as the physical distance between client and therapist in online therapy can be sometimes helpful. Many clients who choose to remain anonymous open up quite easily about difficult subjects such as sexual problems or other 'taboos' once they know they can't be identified. One can also choose to remain anonymous to maintain the boundaries between the therapeutic space and their personal lives.

In that same vein, Nguvu Health provides an anonymity feature where your name is first invisible to your therapist especially for text therapy, till you are comfortable that you want it to be seen which you will have to toggle on yourself. However, for video therapy, it is advisable to have your face seen by the therapist.

Depending on the therapy type you want, you can pay for text therapy (paid weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly) or video therapy (paid per session). We have made pricing affordable and starting from N3,000 ($15), you can start speaking with a licensed therapist.

Paying for your subscription is as easy as online shopping or ordering a pizza, using your debit card. Please note that fees must be paid in advance of the session.

We are an on-demand platform, so we expect our therapist to be available as soon as they can to respond to your messages as soon as it prompts them.

Absolutely. Our goal is to help find the best fit for you, as the connection you have with your therapist is essential in creating a bond and making you comfortable enough to share your problems.
