Family therapy for Nigerian families across different locations
Family Therapy From ₦30,000

Family Therapy

Video sessions bringing family members together across different physical locations to address dynamics, parenting, or shared trauma.

What we work on

  • Family dynamics & recurring conflict patterns
  • Parenting after trauma, loss or separation
  • Shared grief — loss of a parent, child or sibling
  • Diaspora-to-home communication & expectations
  • Boundaries with extended family and in-laws

Who attends: 3–6 family members, each joining from their own device. A free 15-minute intro call with the therapist establishes goals before the first joint session.

How It Works

From First Click to First Session

Most clients are matched within 24 hours and hold their first full session within three days.

1

Booking Form

Three minutes. Your main concern, safety check, preferences and availability. Save and resume any time.

2

Human Matching

An algorithm narrows the pool; a person reviews it. You receive matched therapists with their next available slots.

3

Free 15-Min Intro

Optional but recommended. Speak to your therapist before committing. If the fit feels wrong, we rematch you — no charge.

First Full Session

Paid at booking. Your therapist completes an assessment, agrees two or three concrete goals with you, and explains how the pathway will run.

Ongoing Review

Automated check-ins after sessions 1, 3 and 6. Goals reviewed on schedule. If progress stalls, we adjust early.

Built for Nigeria

Care That Fits How You Actually Live

Most international platforms were designed for fast internet, credit cards and insurance. We built around local realities instead.

Low-Data by Default

Chat uses 5–10 MB per session. Audio uses 15–20 MB. Offline worksheets use zero data during the session itself. HD video is available but never the default.

Multilingual Therapists

English, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Nigerian Pidgin and French. Because describing what happened to you in the language you think in changes what's possible.

USSD & Bank Transfer

Card, bank transfer, USSD from any feature phone, and optional direct debit. Local gateway fees absorbed by us — the price you see is the price you pay.

Inflation-Aware Pricing

Reviewed every 90 days against real inflation and FX movement. Increases capped at 5% per cycle, announced 30 days ahead, and existing bundles grandfathered.

Diaspora Sponsorship

Paying from abroad for a family member in Nigeria? International cards accepted with a transparent 3.9% surcharge shown at checkout. The booking belongs to the client.

NDPA 2023 Aligned

Health data treated as sensitive personal data requiring explicit consent. African data residency where available. You can request deletion at any time.

Client Voices

In Their Own Words

Shared with explicit consent. Names and identifying details changed to protect privacy.

"I lost my husband in a road accident. For seven months I couldn't say his name without breaking. My therapist used audio-only sessions because I couldn't stand being on camera. That one decision made it possible for me to keep going."

BA

"Bukola A."

Grief pathway · Lagos

"We live in three different countries — Lagos, London and Houston. Family therapy gave us a room to finally talk about my father's death without everyone talking over each other. My mother cried. My brother spoke for the first time."

EO

"Efe O."

Family Therapy · Diaspora

"I did my sessions entirely over chat. I have three children and no private space in the house — there is nowhere to speak. Being able to type what happened to me as a child, at 11pm when everyone was asleep, changed everything."

Quick Answers

Before You Book

How much does a session cost?

Entry tier starts at ₦8,000 per 50-minute session for audio or chat-based work. Standard individual therapy is ₦15,000. Senior specialist trauma work is ₦25,000 and couples or family sessions are ₦30,000. Sliding-scale placements start at ₦5,000 flat. All rates are published on our pricing page and locked for 90 days.

Do you offer family therapy and corporate services?

Yes. Family therapy brings 3–6 members together over encrypted video — whether they're spread across Lagos, London and Houston, or living in the same compound — to address dynamics, parenting and shared trauma. Corporate and workplace mental health coaching is delivered virtually to teams, addressing employee burnout, workplace stress and mental wellness, with NGO and small-business discounts available. Both run on the same verified clinician network.

Can I do therapy without video, using only chat?

Yes, for Tier 1 and Tier 2 work. Text-based therapy uses only 5–10 MB per session and is often the only format available to someone in a shared household with no private space. There are two honest limitations: for complex trauma or high-risk situations, a clinician may need occasional voice contact to assess safety properly, and chat is not suitable for acute crisis.

What if I don't connect with my therapist?

Request a rematch from your dashboard. There is no charge, no penalty period, no waiting list, and no requirement to explain yourself to your current therapist. We brief the new clinician on your history so you don't have to retell the hardest parts from scratch. Around 31% of our clients switch at least once — and those who do typically report better outcomes afterwards.
