06.08 Justification

Counselling is not yet widely recognized in society, even among professionals, presenting a significant market gap. We offer two major services alongside our virtual counselling: an upcoming online counselling app and the Business School of Counselling. The app, already popular in developed nations but scarcely used in Nigeria, allows clients to easily access and schedule appointments with counsellors. The Business School of Counselling, already operational, updates the traditional university degree by teaching counselling professionals how to build a business from their practice. It covers modern topics like innovation, leadership, business structure, and market analysis, bridging the gap between traditional education and the skills needed to succeed in today’s market.

06.09 Analyse compétitive

My main competitors include existing counselling services, both virtual and in-person, and established online counselling platforms in Nigeria. Additionally, traditional universities and online education providers offering counselling degrees or business courses are also competitors. I stand out by offering a unique combination of services tailored to the Nigerian context. My Counselling App provides easy access to diverse counsellors, leveraging technology for convenience and reach, something not widely available in Nigeria. The Business School of Counselling distinguishes itself by focusing on the business aspect of the counselling profession, incorporating modern topics like innovation and leadership, which are not typically covered in traditional counselling programs. This dual approach not only addresses the current gap in counselling services but also equips professionals with the tools to thrive independently, setting my services apart from conventional competitors.

11.05 Menez-vous des actions au sein de votre communauté pour promouvoir le rôle des femmes entrepreneurs ?

I actively promote female entrepreneurs by engaging female volunteers, as my profession aligns with qualities often found in women, such as being calm, loving, empathic, and kind. Additionally, my Business School of Counselling features a female co-trainer who is a highly effective counsellor. By highlighting her expertise and leadership, I not only provide a role model for aspiring female counsellors but also emphasize the valuable contributions women make in this field. This approach encourages and empowers more women to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities in counselling.
