The saving is structural. Not clinical.
Shemesh works with HPCSA-registered professionals - postgraduate-trained, accredited, and held to the same professional standards as any private practitioner.
The difference in cost has nothing to do with the quality of care you receive. It comes down to overheads. There is no fancy consulting room. No receptionist. No London lease. Those costs do not exist - so we do not pass them on to you.
You get the same standard of professional support. You just do not pay for the building it used to happen in.
What makes Shemesh different
Affordable by design
Professional emotional wellness support from a fraction of what private therapy costs. Transparent pricing. No surprises.

What our clients say about us:
“Shemesh has made my life as an Oleh Chadash in Israel significantly easier. The therapy I've received has helped me stick around and has given me a safety net in a new country where challenges are everywhere. Sometimes just knowing that someone has got your back is huge.”
“I was in a really bad place, and I was sure that I knew why. Thanks to my therapist I understood my situation and how to overcome it. Trust the process, you'll get better!”
“The therapist I'm working with gives me thoughtful feedback and is very prompt with responses. I've been doing both the video therapy sessions as well as the messaging.”

Shemesh started because this support should not be this hard to find
We built Shemesh because we kept seeing the same problem. People who needed support could not get it - not because it did not exist, but because the barriers were too high.
The cost. The waiting time. The paperwork. The stigma. The simple exhaustion of not knowing where to start.
We believed there was a better way. HPCSA-registered professionals, available online, at a price that does not require a second thought. Support that meets people where they are - not where the system finds it convenient.
That is Shemesh.
A mental health benefit you can actually measure
Shemesh gives employers anonymised insight into engagement, usage, professional fit, and wellbeing trends - without exposing any private clinical details.
We track more than utilisation. We track fit, progress, and client experience. Early internal data shows improved anxiety screening scores among clients who completed follow-up feedback.
A scalable emotional wellness solution with qualified professionals, structured feedback, and anonymised reporting. Designed for genuine engagement - not just checking the wellness benefit box.
