Online Therapy in Nairobi
The case for online therapy in Nairobi is not primarily about convenience, though convenience matters. It is about access to a level of specialist clinical expertise that is otherwise difficult to reach — and about the particular privacy that working from your own space provides in a city where professional and social networks can make the question of who else is in the waiting room a real concern.
Dr Jacquet has worked with clients in Nairobi via secure video link for years. The quality of therapeutic work conducted online is equivalent to in-person work. The relationship — which is the mechanism through which depth psychotherapy, EMDR and analytical work actually produce change — develops fully in the online format.
What Online Sessions Look Like
Sessions take place via a secure, end-to-end encrypted video platform. They last 50 minutes. Nothing is recorded. The session is private — as confidential as any medical consultation, and held to the same professional and ethical standards as Philippe’s Harley Street practice.
For many clients in Nairobi, the online format is preferable not just for practical reasons but because it removes the logistical and social exposure of attending a clinic. The work itself is not diminished. Some clients find that the particular privacy of working from their own space — being on their own ground, not having to travel to and from a clinic — actually facilitates a quality of openness that in-person sessions can take longer to develop.
