Your Benefits, put to Work.
If your Employer or Insurer covers Mental Healthcare, Heyrafiki finds that cover and applies it before you pay. No forms, no phone calls, no surprise invoices.
From first Hey to feeling Better.
The right Therapist speaks your Language, fits your Budget and gets your story. Here is the whole path, in the order you will walk it.
/01
Tell Iris what matters
In your own words, not a dropdown.
What you are carrying, the Language you think in, evenings only, someone who gets Grief. Iris turns that into a short list of licence-verified Practitioners who fit, and shows you why each one is on it.
- You choose
- Iris suggests; you decide. Read each profile, watch their intro, pick the one who feels right.
- You can change your mind
- Switching Practitioners takes two taps and no awkward conversation. Your history moves only with your Consent.
/02
Sessions without borrowed links
The Room is built in.
Your Session opens inside Heyrafiki: no downloads, no meeting links pasted into chats, a waiting room that opens five minutes early, and a call that stays steady on slow networks.
- Online, In Person or both
- Meet over Hey Video or at a Safe Private Heyrafiki Space near you. Many People mix the two.
- In the format that fits you
- Sign, Voice, Text and more, with live captions when you want them.
/03
Money, clear before you book
Every rate visible, every Cover applied first.
Every Practitioner's rate is visible before you book. Pay by M-PESA or Card, or let Heyrafiki find your Insurance or workplace cover and apply it first. Family anywhere in the world can pay for your Sessions directly.
- Cover, found for you
- If an Insurer or Employer covers your Care, it is confirmed and applied before you are asked to pay.
- Help from home, or abroad
- Someone who loves you can fund your Care from any country, by Card or Stablecoins, straight to your Sessions.

At home, at work, or at 2am when sleep will not come, Care is built to fit around your life.

Before you say Hey.
How much does it cost?
Heyrafiki itself is free. You pay per Session, at a rate you see before you book. If your Insurer or Employer covers Mental Healthcare, that cover is found and applied automatically.
When do I pay, and is my money safe?
You pay when you book, and Heyrafiki holds the money until your Session happens. Your Practitioner is paid after the Session, and if you cancel up to 24 hours before, the full amount comes back to you.
Can someone else pay for my Sessions?
Yes. Family, a friend, or a Sponsor can fund your Care from any country, and it lands as Gifted Care in your Session Wallet. It can only become Sessions, so the person giving knows exactly what their money does.
Will my Employer know I used it?
No. Employers fund Care and see aggregate numbers only. Who used it, for what, and what was said are separated from identity data at the architecture level.
What if I do not click with my Therapist?
Switch anytime, in the app, without explaining yourself. Iris uses what you tell her to make the next Match better.
Is this for emergencies?
No. If you or someone near you is in immediate danger, the Crisis Centre lists verified 24/7 helplines you can call right now.
