How to arrange an appointment

To request an appointment at Tumaini Nairobi, please call or e-mail clinicalasst.ac@aimint.orgOur clinical assistant will take down basic information and then pass your request to one of our counsellors, who will get back to you as soon as possible, usually within 48 hours.

If you are coming to Nairobi specially to be seen at Tumaini, please liaise with us before arranging your travel.  This is both so that we can ensure we have availability during your visit, but also so that you arrange to be here long enough to gain the help you require.  Attending for a few days may be sufficient for a simple evaluation, but if you want to address an issue, or may need to start new medications, then you being available for 2 or 3 weeks is likely to be necessary – and probably longer if the matter is serious or of long-standing.  We do offer virtual counselling, in addition to in-person sessions, however, this depends on the nature of the presenting concern for determining which service is most appropriate.
