Introducing Nafsi: The Platform Matching You With the Right Therapist
14 Aug 2024
Therapists are everywhere, but how do you find the one that is truly right for you? Someone who not only understands your needs and connects with you emotionally but also gets your religious background (which is crucial)? Someone with real experience, not just a recent graduate from a therapy course? These were the exact questions Sammy Sawaf and El Tayeb Hassen (later on, Amaan Khullar joined them as the company’s CTO) pondered before creating Nafsi — a platform designed to help you find the perfect therapist. Nafsi became the first DHA-licensed mental health platform in Dubai.
Here is how Nafsi works: You answer a few questions, get matched with the right therapist, and can book a session anytime, anywhere.
Their mission is to break the stigma. They want people in the Middle East to speak openly and freely about their struggles, without shame, and to seek help when needed. We sat down with them to get the full story on this groundbreaking platform.
