Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves to be heard.

For too long, mental health support has been defined by barriers: high costs, long waiting lists, and rigid systems. People are often left to cope alone. We looked at this gap and realised something crucial: most people don't need a clinical diagnosis to feel better—they need connection, empathy, and a safe space to unload their thoughts.

That is why we built Careness. We bridge the gap between those seeking support and the future of mental healthcare. By connecting you with verified psychology students and recent graduates, we remove the hurdles of traditional therapy. This unique model allows us to offer immediate, affordable, and high-quality support to anyone, anywhere—because mental well-being should be a standard, not a privilege.

Our Vision

We see a future where "mental maintenance" is as normal as physical exercise. A world where you don't wait to reach a breaking point to seek help, but instead have accessible tools to grow, heal, and thrive every single day.

Real Stories, Real Connection

Marcus, 42

Corporate Manager

"The matching system actually works. I was paired with someone who understood the pressure of high-stress environments. It was nice to speak to someone who 'got it' immediately without me having to over-explain."

Sarah, 24

University Student

"I was drowning in exam stress and felt like I couldn't talk to my friends without burdening them. My Advisor, Michael, didn't just listen—he helped me organize my thoughts. For $35, it felt like a weight lifted off my chest."

David, 35

Freelancer

"I've tried therapy before, but the cost was unsustainable. Careness is the perfect middle ground. I can book a session whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed without breaking the bank. It’s my weekly mental reset."

Jessica

Advisor

"Connecting with real people and helping them navigate real life has taught me more than any textbook ever could. I'm a better listener because of this platform."

Tom, 27

New Dad

"It was just nice to have a dedicated 50 minutes where the focus was entirely on me and my anxieties about fatherhood, without judgement. I felt lighter immediately."

Elena, 29

Teacher

"I was skeptical about talking to a student, but my Advisor was incredibly professional and validated. Honestly, she was more present and attentive than some expensive therapists I've seen in the past."

Our Core Values

Empathy First

We believe listening is an active form of care. Every interaction on our platform is rooted in compassion, free of judgment or bias.

Radical Accessibility

Support shouldn't be a luxury. By removing financial and geographical barriers, we ensure that help is available to anyone with an internet connection.

Validated Connection

We don't rely on random assignment. We use a thoughtful matching process to pair you with advisors whose academic focus and personality align with your needs, ensuring every conversation is meaningful.
