About us
Avand connects people seeking depth-oriented therapy with vetted, independent analytical psychotherapists — in a calm, confidential space built in Europe.
Our mission
To make serious, long-term psychotherapy easier to find, easier to sustain, and safe to trust. We handle the practicalities — matching, scheduling, secure communication and payment — so therapy can do its work.
Why analytical psychotherapy
Analytical psychotherapy looks beneath symptoms to the patterns that shape a life. It is relational and longer-term by nature, which is why continuity, privacy and a good match matter so much — and why we designed the platform around them.
How we vet therapists
Every therapist on Avand is reviewed before they can practise here. We check:
- Verified identity and professional qualifications
- Membership of a recognised professional body
- Evidence of ongoing clinical supervision
- A signed commitment to our code of ethics and confidentiality
What we stand for
Confidential by design
Sensitive clinical notes are encrypted before they are stored, and strict access rules keep your record yours.
Hosted in Europe
Your data lives in the EU, under the GDPR, with a transparent list of every processor we use.
Continuity of care
Recurring sessions, a stable therapeutic relationship, and clear cancellation rules that protect both sides.
