Accepted Answer

Yes. Online therapy can be effective for many of the concerns people seek professional support for, including anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. What matters is having the right professional support for your needs and a safe, confidential setting in which to work. At TALAR, sessions take place online, so you can access support wherever you are.

Question 16

How do I know if I need mental health support?

Accepted Answer

There is no threshold you have to cross first. Most people come to us because something has been sitting with them for a while, whether that is a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall, a decision they cannot make, a loss they have not worked through or a sense that they are not coping the way they used to. You do not need a diagnosis, and things do not need to have reached a breaking point. If you have been wondering whether professional support could help, our Free Consultation is a good place to start.

Question 17

What happens in my first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is a conversation, not an assessment. The Mental Health Professional will ask what brought you here and what you would like to be different. You set the pace, and you do not have to talk about anything you are not ready to. By the end, you will have a sense of what working together would look like. Sessions are held over a secure, encrypted video call, and nothing is recorded without your explicit consent.

Question 18

Can I choose my mental health professional?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you have created an account, you can explore our partners, read about their backgrounds and areas of focus, and choose who you would like to work with when you book.

Question 19

Can I attend sessions from outside Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every session is online, so where you are does not matter. All you need is a private space and an internet connection. We have worked with clients in seventeen countries, and sessions can be scheduled around your time zone, including evenings and weekends.

Question 20

What is the cost structure of your service?

Accepted Answer

The Clarity Session is our lowest-cost option, a single session for people who want focused guidance on one specific issue. One-on-one sessions and couples sessions are priced separately, and booking a package works out cheaper per session than booking one at a time. Full pricing for every service is on our services page. If you are not sure what you need, the Free Consultation costs nothing.
