Common Questions

Is everything I share in therapy kept confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a foundational clinical and ethical obligation at Ardent Therapists. The extremely narrow exceptions are: (a) imminent risk to your life or another person's life, (b) disclosed abuse of a child or vulnerable adult, or (c) a lawful court order. Outside these rare circumstances, nothing you share will leave the practice without your explicit written consent — not to family members, employers, or anyone else.

How long will I need to attend therapy?

The duration of therapy depends entirely on your goals, circumstances, and the nature of what you are working through. Some clients benefit from 6 to 12 focused sessions. Others engage in longer-term work over months or years. You are never locked into a fixed programme. Your therapist will regularly review progress with you, and you are free to pause, reduce frequency, or conclude sessions at any time.

What is the difference between individual therapy, counselling, and a psychological assessment?

Individual therapy is an ongoing process of exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviours with a qualified therapist. Counselling is often shorter-term and focused on a specific concern or life challenge. A psychological assessment — such as the Griffiths child assessment we offer — is a structured evaluation that identifies strengths, areas of difficulty, and developmental differences, resulting in a detailed report and recommendations. Our team will recommend the most appropriate service during your initial consultation.

Can I access therapy online if I am outside Nairobi?

Yes. Our teletherapy service delivers the same standard of clinical care as our in-person sessions at Westlands. Secure, confidential video sessions are available to clients anywhere in Kenya and internationally. Distance, mobility constraints, and scheduling demands do not have to be barriers to receiving professional psychological support.

Do you provide services for children and adolescents?

Yes. We offer specialised child therapy, psychological assessments (including Griffiths assessments), and adolescent counselling for young people aged 9 and above. Our child therapists are trained to create safe, nurturing environments where children can express themselves freely. Interventions are always developed in close collaboration with parents or caregivers.

Do you work with organisations and schools?

Yes. We provide a comprehensive suite of organisational and institutional services, including Employee Assistance Programmes, workplace mental health training, group therapy for teams, school counselling, and teacher capacity-building workshops. All corporate and institutional programmes are customised to the specific needs, size, and context of each organisation. Contact us to discuss a programme tailored to your team or institution.

What is your policy on discrimination?

Ardent Therapists operates a strict zero-discrimination policy. Every person who engages with our practice is received with equal professionalism, dignity, and care, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, religion, belief, ethnicity, appearance, or any other characteristic. We are committed to a clinical environment in which every client feels genuinely safe and unconditionally welcomed.

The child assessment my daughter received at Ardent was thorough, clearly explained, and immediately actionable. As a parent, I finally understood what she was experiencing. I cannot overstate how valuable that clarity has been for our family.
