The journey

From first question
to lasting clarity.

Clary is not just a booking tool. It's a guided mental health journey—from understanding what you need, to finding the right therapist, to knowing it's actually working.

Assessment·About 5 minutes

Tell us what you need

The assessment is the foundation of everything. It's not a form—it's a guided conversation about what you're going through, what you've tried before, and what you actually need from therapy.

Your answers are private, treated with care, and used only to find your best therapist match. Nothing is judged. There are no wrong answers.

What we ask about

  • What's bringing you to therapy right now
  • How long this has been affecting you
  • Your preferred communication style (structured vs. exploratory)
  • Language, timing, and budget preferences
  • Whether you have any experience with therapy

Matching·Results in under a minute

We find your therapist

Our AI reviews your assessment and ranks therapists by genuine fit—not just who has an open slot. It looks at specialisation, therapeutic approach, communication style, language, availability, and more.

You see the top matches with a plain-English explanation for each: exactly why this therapist is a good fit for you specifically. You choose. We never hide options.

What matching considers

  • Your specific challenges and goals
  • Therapist's specialisations and approach (CBT, ACT, etc.)
  • Communication style compatibility
  • Language and session format preference
  • Availability and budget alignment

First session·Book at your convenience

Meet your therapist

Book your first session at a time that works for you. Sessions happen over secure video—no commute, no waiting rooms. Your therapist receives a summary of your profile so they can arrive prepared.

The first session is about getting to know each other. There's no pressure to dive deep immediately. You set the pace.

What to expect

  • A 50-minute video session over our secure platform
  • Your therapist arrives knowing your background
  • You discuss goals for the sessions ahead
  • You decide together how often to meet
  • No long-term commitment required upfront
04
Ongoing support·Always available

Build momentum between sessions

Therapy doesn't only happen in sessions. Between appointments, you can journal, log your mood, and reflect on what came up. Your therapist can see what you choose to share, giving them richer context for your next session.

If something feels off—if you need to switch therapists, or feel stuck—you can raise it anytime. We make it frictionless.

Between-session tools

  • Private mood journal with daily check-ins
  • Session notes from your therapist (if they choose to share)
  • Direct messaging for non-urgent questions
  • Ability to request a therapist change at any time
  • Reminders and upcoming session cards
05
Track progress·Visible after every session

Know it is actually working

One of the hardest things about therapy is not knowing if it is helping. Clary tracks your wellbeing over time—mood scores, session feedback, and emotional patterns—so you can see genuine progress.

If progress stalls, we surface it. We'll suggest a conversation with your therapist, or a switch if needed. You should never feel stuck without support.

What gets tracked

  • Wellbeing score trend over time
  • Session ratings and feedback
  • Recurring emotional themes (AI-detected)
  • Goal progress (set with your therapist)
  • Milestone moments in your journey
