Partner Voice

What a university partner says

★★★★★

“Our psychology department now recommends SympathiQ to all final-year students as the platform to launch their practice. The placement pathway has removed a major barrier we had — finding real clients for supervised hours. Separately, our student services team has seen a measurable drop in welfare referrals since we introduced subsidised sessions.”
