About
The idea of Nion was born back in 2019 by two master’s graduate students in Psychology, Marcus Resch and Tord Wold. Mental health issues are becoming an increasing problem in Norway and internationally, and with increasing waiting lists to get treatment.
From experience, they knew that many find it both scary and expensive to go to a psychologist. They wanted to introduce Nion as a low-threshold, easy-access, and affordable service to people who need “someone to talk to” – either via chat, video, or physical meetings.
Think Uber, for people who need someone qualified to talk to if they struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, sleeplessness, and more.
Nion aims to be an intermediate and preventive mental health service available in your pocket via an app, where the goal is that everyone should be able to afford to talk to competent professionals, without having to wait in month-long queues, by offering them access to a large network of therapists online or offline – when they need it.
