Availability of online consultations varies by practitioner, so check the individual therapist’s profile when booking.

The cost of therapy in Nairobi varies depending on the therapist, qualifications, type of therapy and length of the consultation.

This means you can check the therapist’s profile for their current consultation fee before booking.
Therapist, Psychologist or Psychiatrist – Who Should I See?
A therapist or psychologist may be appropriate when you need counselling, psychotherapy or psychological assessment.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor trained in the assessment and treatment of mental health conditions and can prescribe medication when clinically appropriate.
Some people benefit from both psychotherapy and psychiatric treatment.
If you are unsure where to start, you can explore both psychologists and psychiatrists on Psychiatry.co.ke and choose a professional according to your needs.
