Ayya Africa comprises a dedicated team with a fervor for mental health. Functioning as an online therapy platform, our focus is on serving Africans worldwide. Our mission involves offering mental health insights and guidance, facilitating connections between individuals seeking top-notch yet affordable mental health care and thoroughly vetted therapists. All of this is conducted through a secure and confidential online experience.

The mental health handbook, advice articles and all information in Ayya App are written and reviewed by a qualified and vetted team of mental health practitioners, psychologists and doctors to ensure the accuracy of the information delivered.

Therapy or counseling is a valuable resource for anyone, akin to a life tool-kit. Whether you grapple with relationship management, anxiety, depression, or the challenges that arise during stressful times, counseling serves as a means to explore and understand your emotions. It equips you with insights into what you feel, why you feel that way, and empowers you with strategies to navigate through these experiences.

Yes. All of our experts are certified and thoroughly vetted. We only work with experts who have completed professional training programs at least at an advanced diploma level, and have 2+ years of hands-on experience, and also have positive references from previous employers. We go an extra mile making sure they are registered with respective professional bodies and they are up to date with their memberships. Whether they’re located regionally or overseas, all of our specialists have all been selected in accordance with the same overarching goal: to help the people of our region in a language they can understand.

In therapy, confidentiality is sacred. As such, there is nothing that we take more seriously than your privacy. We use secured servers to ensure that your personal information and communications are encrypted and stored securely with the highest levels of privacy by being fully HIPAA compliant. HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability and is the most respected global standard for protecting sensitive patient data.
