The team behind Aury

Aury is made by a small team of psychologists, therapists and engineers in Potsdam and Berlin. We work closely together because Aury needs both: psychological knowledge and careful engineering.

What we stand for

  • Making psychological knowledge accessible

    Methods from psychology should not only be open to people who have a place in therapy.

  • Removing barriers

    Cost, waiting times and shame should not decide whether someone gets support with stress.

  • Complementing human care, not replacing it

    Aury does not replace psychotherapy. When someone needs more, Aury shows where help is available.
