About us
YourSootheSpace was not born in a tech hub, but in the lecture halls of a PhD program in Counseling Psychology. It began as a solution to a profound professional and personal dilemma.
Our founder entered doctoral studies with a singular mission: to heal themselves and those in their community walking the same mental health journey. However, the study of clinical ethics presented a difficult reality—the "dual relationship" rule. As a therapist, you cannot provide formal treatment to those closest to you—your friends and your family.
During a pivotal ethics class, our founder challenged this boundary, asking: "Then what am I supposed to do for the people I love?" The professor’s response became the foundational pillar of our organization: "Maybe you can create something that can help them indirectly."
That challenge transformed a professional limitation into a mission for regional impact. Since then, in collaboration with a dedicated research partner, we have focused on how to bridge the "treatment gap" using digital tools. We realized that while a practitioner cannot be everyone’s therapist, we can provide the evidence-based tools that allow people to navigate their own healing journey daily.
YourSootheSpace is the result of that clinical journey. We combine the rigorous standards of psychology with a deeply personal commitment to the people of Myanmar and Thailand. We provide "indirect" support—daily exercises, resilience tools, and mental health awareness—designed with the utmost genuine care for those we cannot reach in person, but can support through technology.
