Our Mission
To make access to mental health specialists in Algeria fast, confidential, and respectful of user dignity, with an experience that breaks down barriers of time and distance while supporting continuity of care.
Our Vision
To become a trusted Algerian reference for online psychological support and an Arab model of quality digital service with cultural relevance.
Our Values
Privacy with respect for user and their data. Professionalism in credentialing, monitoring, and evaluation. Simplicity that brings services closer without complexity. And fairness in information, pricing, and booking mechanisms.
How The Idea Started
From Personal Experience to Practical Solution
The idea started from a personal experience with anxiety, followed by serious research into an effective solution that could reach everyone who needs it in Algeria. This experience led to designing a simplified user journey: choosing the right specialist and starting a remote session in a way that respects user privacy and timing.
Today the platform is built on cooperation with qualified specialists and direct communication with users to improve booking and session experience step by step.
The Founder
Mohammed Lamine Ouahabi leads the platform's development. With over ten years of experience in software engineering, he focuses on delivering a digital experience that considers the Algerian context and supports specialists with clear and simple tools.
