Does this replace a psychologist? Is it therapy?

No. Orum is not a therapy or emergency service, and it does not replace treatment from a mental health professional.

What you find here is support, guidance and space to talk about what worries you, with different approaches depending on the expert you choose.

See a health professional rather than booking a consultation of this kind when any of these apply:

• Thoughts of harming yourself or taking your own life
• Substance use you can no longer control
• Symptoms that have affected your sleep, your work or your relationships for weeks
• Any situation of immediate risk to you or to someone else

If you are in an emergency, contact your country's emergency services right now. Do not use this platform for that.
