Glimmer holds therapy to a higher standard by using data to accurately match therapists with clients based on compatibility and trust. So rather than being a process of trial and error, Glimmer provides personalised and effective treatment from the outset by:

• Smartly matching patients with therapists rather than leaving it to chance.
• Ensuring that each step of the healing journey was measured and progress was meticulously tracked.
• Providing quality assurance for patients and empowering them to make informed decisions about their recovery.
