How Buddy Works
1. Choose your coach
Browse through the profiles of our coaches and psychologists and select the one that best fits your needs, based on their specialization and location.
2. Schedule your appointment
Use our convenient scheduling tool to book an appointment at a time that suits you. Face-to-face or online.
3. Start your journey
The first session is an introduction in which you and your coach or psychologist decide on your next step together. This way, you’ll always get an approach tailored to you.
