# Clearhead

> Clearhead is a digital mental health and wellbeing platform open to **everyone** — individuals, employees, and students alike. It also provides Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services to partner organisations and insurance providers. Founded in 2018 and ISO 27001 certified, Clearhead operates primarily in Australia and New Zealand, serving 200,000+ employees with 10x the adoption rate of traditional EAP services.

Anyone can sign up and access Clearhead directly — no employer required. Clearhead also provides EAP services to partner organisations and insurance providers. It bridges the gap between digital self-help and professional therapy, offering a Guided Wellbeing Journey, a 24/7 AI Wellbeing Assistant, therapy booking, and anonymous workforce data analytics. It was co-founded by Dr. Angela Lim (CEO, medical doctor) and Michael Connolly (CTO, software engineer).

## For Individuals (Direct Access — No Employer Required)
