One AI Psychologist does both: personal support for anyone, and private peer mentorship for practising psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and trainees — built on the clinical protocols of Dr. Nitnem Singh Sodhi, Consultant Mental Health Specialist. Free, 24×7, in 100+ global languages.
Bring a real case. Build the formulation together — presenting picture, ICD-11 / DSM-5-TR alignment, top differentials, risk, and a critique of your current treatment plan, one focused question at a time.
Learn Dr. Sodhi's signature CR micro-protocols — the precise 60–90 second in-session sequences for panic, rumination, sleep onset, urges, trauma activation and more — with sample wording you can adapt to your voice.
PHQ-9, GAD-7, PSS-10, ISI, ASRS-v1.1, PCL-5, OCI-R, MBI-short, Y-BOCS, MADRS — exact cut-offs, severity bands, and the clinical action each band actually warrants.
Peer-level mentorship on case-load design, scope-of-practice, ethical edge-cases, documentation discipline, counter-transference and burnout protection — the standing channel Dr. Sodhi authored to extend his mentorship to clinicians at scale, since he isn't personally available for one-to-one supervision.
Structured, on-demand mini-courses authored by Dr. Sodhi across CBT, ACT, DBT, psychodynamic integration and Cognitive Regulation — earn credentials and sharpen one modality at a time, at your own pace.

It is purpose-built for mental health on Dr. Sodhi's clinical protocols, with validated screening, Cognitive Regulation tools, severity-aware next steps, crisis-safety guidance and a separate professional mentor for clinicians.
The AI Psychologist is multi-modal. It can use Cognitive Regulation, CBT, REBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, schema approaches or trauma-informed pacing according to the situation.
Structured online therapy can be effective for many common concerns, including depression, anxiety, panic, insomnia and PTSD. In-person care remains important for severe, complex or high-risk situations, and individual needs differ.
Counselling is often shorter and focused on a current challenge such as grief, relationships, career or exam stress. Therapy may explore deeper patterns, beliefs or trauma through structured approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, schema therapy or IFS.
Open the Therapy Approaches hub for plain-language guides to CBT, REBT, DBT, ACT, schema therapy, IFS, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy and trauma-informed care, with links to structured courses where available.
