Ahum
Ahum was founded in 2015 by leg. psychologist Fredrik Sandin and Johan Thuresson (art director / IT engineer). Fredrik runs psychology reception psychology in Stockholm and during his years as a practicing psychologist has noticed that most people seeking a psychologist feel the will in the choice of therapist. The market is unregulated and itis difficult for clients to find both the right therapy form and the right therapist. The person seeking support is already in a sensitive situation many times and may not have the energy or knowledge to find a suitable therapist. Within the public sector there is no remit and the specialist thinking within the somatic care is lacking in the mental. In a heavily stressed healthcare sector, people with mild to moderate mental health between the chairs often also fall.
