Online Spiritual Consultations from London, New York and Toronto
A large share of the people who contact Dr Abdul & Mama Nangobi live far from East Africa, in cities such as London, New York and Toronto. Many belong to the African diaspora and want to stay connected with traditional guidance; others are simply curious.
This guide covers the practical side of online spiritual consultations from these cities: arranging a time across time zones, choosing between WhatsApp and international calls, keeping things private, and preparing so the conversation is as useful as possible.
Working across time zones
Dr Abdul & Mama Nangobi are based in East Africa, which runs on East Africa Time (EAT, three hours ahead of GMT) all year round. Your own clock depends on where you are and the time of year:
- London: GMT in winter, British Summer Time (BST) in summer. East Africa is usually two to three hours ahead.
- New York: Eastern Time (ET). East Africa is usually seven to eight hours ahead.
- Toronto: also Eastern Time (ET), so the difference is the same as New York.
Because clocks change in spring and autumn in the UK and North America but not in East Africa, the gap shifts by an hour twice a year. When you message to arrange a time, it helps to state your city and local time clearly.
Clients in London often find mornings or early afternoons convenient. Clients in New York and Toronto often prefer early mornings, when it is already afternoon in East Africa.
WhatsApp or an international call?
Most international clients choose WhatsApp. Messages, voice notes and calls use your internet connection, so there are usually no international call charges, and you can send a message whenever suits you.
A standard international phone call is also possible. It can be useful where internet access is unreliable, but please check your mobile or landline rates first, as international charges can add up.
Whichever you choose, a stable, quiet place to talk makes a real difference.
Privacy and discretion
Many people value discretion, especially when a consultation touches on love, family or personal struggles. A few simple steps help:
- Choose a time and place where you will not be overheard
- Use a device that only you have access to
- Share only what you are comfortable sharing
- Delete messages afterwards if that gives you peace of mind
Your conversations with Dr Abdul & Mama Nangobi are kept confidential. Never send bank passwords or card PIN numbers to anyone by message.
Preparing for your consultation
You do not need to prepare a perfect question, but a little thought beforehand helps. Consider what is weighing on you most, what you hope to understand, and any key dates or names that feel relevant.
Keep a notebook nearby so you can write down guidance to reflect on later. Allow some quiet time afterwards rather than rushing straight back into a busy day.
Remember that spiritual guidance supports reflection; it does not guarantee outcomes. For medical, legal, financial or mental-health matters, please also speak to a qualified professional where you live.
City pages and getting in touch
London, New York and Toronto each have their own page under Locations on this site, with more detail on local times and how consultations work from there.
When you are ready, contact Dr Abdul & Mama Nangobi by WhatsApp or phone. Let them know your city and preferred time, and a consultation can be arranged at a moment that suits you both.
