About us
Dedicated to supporting a kinder, stronger humanity
M50m match clients with practitioners that are approved in Europe to provide mental health advice. We also offer free fact based self-help and almost free courses in mental health as well as online workshops led by licensed practitioners.
M50m is a fully remote and diverse organisation based in Europe.
50 minutes and the power of human connection
We strongly believe in the healing power of the human contact. Many modern task-based therapies shift the therapist’s role to one of oversight, where patients are left to manage much of the process on their own, and that leaves us sceptical to the current trend of ‘mechanising’ psychotherapy. The benefits of human interactions have long eluded measurement, making them easy to ignore. But we believe that deep in our hearts all of us know what the truth is—human contact is central to healing. We certainly do, and we see the need to step up and take a stand for that in todays day and age of efficacy, automation, AI and the general sense of lack of resources that drives this unfortunate trend.
We are also intrigued by research around the so-called ‘Dodo Bird Verdict,’ which suggests that different types of therapy are generally just as effective as each other, and that subjective qualities that are difficult to measure such as therapist allegiance is far from trivial, but an important feature of psychological therapy, a suggestion that may sound controversial to some. The degree of importance should not matter though, because in the end what truly matters, is creating a space for genuine connection and therapeutic intervention—and 50 minutes is the sweet spot for doing just that. That’s why we call ourselves M50m—My 50 minutes.
Join the team
You are welcome to join our team of practitioners as long as you are approved by authorities in an EU or EFTA country to provide mental health advice. We specifically aim our service to part time practitioners in the European time zone and those practitioners that have a hard time finding clients because of their physical location.
This is reflected in our pricing model which is based on the actual use of the service, potentially saving practitioners a substantial amount of money. On top of the pay-as-you-go pricing, registration is free of charge and there are zero subscription fees.
Join our team of therapists now and stay listed, free of charge, for as long as you want.

Why you should support us
M50m was created by a small group of individuals who saw, first and foremost, a need for genuine support to help private mental health practitioners sustain high-quality therapy—even when working online. Second, with the increasing tendency for people to search for a therapist online, and recognizing the challenges this presents for both clients and therapists—particularly in maintaining a reputation-based client base—we developed a science-based matching algorithm as a better solution.
We have come a long way on M50m on a shoestring budget, without financial backers and have built and maintain this platform out of love and our own money. Therefore any contribution is highly valued – even just a coffee will cheer us up!
If money is tight, please support us by linking to us from your website or social media.
