The things people ask before they start.

Getting started

What is Mindenity?+

Mindenity is a mental-health support platform that connects people with verified therapists and provides tools for mood, sleep, stress and support between sessions.

Do I need a diagnosis or a referral to start?+

No. You can start without a diagnosis or referral. A short guided MENA Assessment helps clarify your needs and preferences.

Who can use Mindenity?+

Mindenity supports adults seeking individual, couples or family care. Availability and age requirements may vary by service and location.

Where is Mindenity available?+

Mindenity serves users in Nigeria and supported international markets. Therapist availability, pricing and payment options depend on your location.

How do I get the Mindenity app?+

Use the Open Mindenity button to use the patient web app. Verified App Store and Google Play links will appear here when each public store release is live.

What do I need to use it?+

You need a supported phone or browser, a stable internet connection and a private email address. Video sessions also require camera and microphone access.

Finding the right professional

How do I find the right therapist?+

Your assessment, goals and preferences help surface suitable therapists. You can review profiles and choose before booking.

Are the professionals licensed and verified?+

Therapists must submit identity, professional and credential documents for review before becoming visible for patient selection.

What if my therapist is not the right fit?+

You can explore another therapist. A good therapeutic fit matters, and changing your provider does not erase your account or wellbeing history.

Do I see the same person every time?+

Normally, yes. You can continue with the therapist you select, subject to availability, or decide to change therapists.

What languages can I have sessions in?+

Each therapist profile lists supported languages. Available options depend on the therapists currently accepting clients.

Your sessions

How long is a session, and is it voice or video?+

Session duration and meeting format are shown before booking. Depending on the therapist and plan, sessions may support video, voice or secure chat.

What happens in the first session?+

Your therapist will learn about what brought you in, discuss goals and boundaries, and agree practical next steps with you.

Can I reschedule or cancel a session?+

Yes, within the cancellation and rescheduling window shown during booking. Late changes may be subject to the displayed policy.

What if the connection drops mid-session?+

Try rejoining from the appointment screen. If the session cannot continue, use secure chat or contact support so the interruption can be reviewed.

Plans and payment

What does it cost?+

Prices vary by therapist, session type and plan. You will see the full amount and currency before confirming a purchase.

What is the difference between paying per session and subscribing?+

Pay-per-session covers individual bookings. Subscription plans may bundle sessions and ongoing tools according to the plan details shown at checkout.

I live abroad. What currency do I pay in?+

Nigerian payments are generally shown in naira, while supported international payments may be shown in US dollars.

Can I cancel or change my plan?+

You can manage an eligible plan from account settings. Any timing, renewal or refund conditions are displayed before you confirm the change.

Does Mindenity work with health insurance or an employer?+

Coverage depends on the programme available to you. Check your plan details or contact support before booking if a third party will pay.

The AI tools

Is the AI replacing the therapist?+

No. MENA Companion and MENA Assessment support reflection and care navigation; they do not replace a licensed clinician or emergency service.

What is the AI wellness companion?+

MENA Companion is an optional conversational support tool for reflection, grounding and practical check-ins between sessions.

Does my therapist read my AI conversations?+

Your care team does not automatically read every conversation. Relevant information is handled according to your settings, consent, safety obligations and the Privacy Policy.

Privacy and your data

Is what I say confidential?+

Mindenity applies technical and organisational safeguards to sensitive information. Confidentiality may have limited exceptions where law or immediate safety duties require action.

How is my information protected?+

Access controls, encryption, audit logging and restricted storage are used to protect account and wellbeing information.

Do you sell my data or use it for advertising?+

Mindenity does not sell sensitive wellbeing information. See the Privacy Policy for the specific purposes, service providers and choices that apply.

Can I delete my account and my records?+

You may request account deletion. Some clinical, payment, safety or compliance records may need to be retained for a legally required period.

Will anyone in my family see that I am using it?+

Your account is private. Group or family care only shares information that is necessary for the shared service or that you choose to share, subject to safety and legal duties.

If things are urgent

What if I need help urgently?+

Mindenity is not an emergency service. If you may act on thoughts of harm or cannot stay safe, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department now.

Can I add an emergency contact?+

Where available, you can add a trusted emergency contact in your care or safety settings.

Can I book a session for someone I am worried about?+

An adult generally needs their own account and consent. Family and dependent-care options may be available where the applicable consent requirements are met.

For therapists and coaches

How do I join Mindenity as a professional?+

Apply through the therapist app, complete your profile and submit the requested identity, licence and credential documents for verification.

How much do professionals earn?+

Your therapist agreement and dashboard show rates, platform fees, adjustments and payout details before you accept paid work.

When and how am I paid?+

Eligible earnings are paid to your verified payout account according to the payout schedule shown in the therapist dashboard.

Do I have to accept every client?+

No. You control your availability and may accept work that fits your competence, scope, schedule and professional obligations.
