“I started MindFriend to create a safe, trusted space where people can confidently learn about mental health through accurate, research-backed information, guided by professionals who are here to help.”

Speaking engagements
All eventsBackground
Maytha started MindFriend with a simple conviction: everyone deserves access to clear, accurate and helpful information about mental health. As a business psychologist, she watched people meet well-meaning but unverified advice while scrolling, and set out to build something more trustworthy.
MindFriend works exclusively with registered experts, over 100 psychologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists, turning clinical knowledge into films, documentaries and social content that feel approachable rather than clinical. The aim was never to point out what's wrong online, but to build a positive, trusted space where people feel supported.
Alongside her work in psychology, Maytha is a philanthropist whose advocacy extends to environmental preservation and animal welfare, a through-line of care that shapes how MindFriend treats the people who use it.
