• Nafsia Clinic offers remote psychological consultations via a digital platform founded in 2023 by Mohammed Lamine Ouahabi.
• The service targets Algeria first and plans expansion into the broader Arab world, emphasizing accessibility, discretion, and no-travel consultations.
• The platform provides certified therapists, secure video sessions, and corporate mental health programs funded by employers or associations.

Mohammed Lamine Ouahabi, an Algerian software engineer and entrepreneur, founded Nafsia Clinic in 2023. He positioned the platform to serve initially the Algerian market before expanding to other Arab countries, with a focus on accessibility, confidentiality, and ease of use.

“Users select a specialist, book a session, and interact remotely, usually via video,” the company said. The platform secured communications and ensured strict confidentiality, and it avoided recording consultations while retaining only essential scheduling data.

Nafsia Clinic built its service around certified mental health professionals, and it implemented selection and monitoring processes to ensure service quality. The platform emphasized user experience, transparency in practitioner profiles, and simplified access to care.

The company expanded its offering beyond individual users and developed dedicated solutions for companies, associations, and organizations. It enabled employers to finance therapy sessions for employees under confidential conditions, while it allowed associations to allocate session credits through flexible funding systems.

Ouahabi graduated in computer science from Djillali Liabes University in Sidi Bel Abbes in 2007. He launched AL3akar.com, a real estate listings platform, in 2022 before founding Nafsia Clinic.

He started his professional career in 2008 as a software engineer at Algeria’s regional budget directorate. He later joined Naftal Spa, a subsidiary of Sonatrach, in 2010, where he worked in petroleum distribution systems. From 2011 to 2025, he served as IT manager at Algeria’s National Social Security Fund for Non-Salaried Workers (CASNOS).
