About Us

Our initiative began as a research project at the University of Copenhagen, which yielded promising results in addressing the increasing mental health challenges in Denmark. The research identified a significant shortage of available psychologists in Denmark, prompting the development of this platform to connect Danish clients with qualified Indian psychologists. Our mission is to bridge this gap, providing accessible and effective therapy through skilled professionals proficient in English and culturally compatible with Danish society.

In collaboration with the University of Copenhagen's startup department, we ensure that our platform is based on the latest academic research and mental health practices. The project is also supported by the Fund for Entrepreneurship, which allows us to continue advancing solutions to enhance mental health care accessibility in Denmark.
