Our approach
Lived experience, not clinical treatment
Risefellow connects people who are struggling with porn, gaming, phone use or scrolling with mentors who have been through it themselves. Mentors share what worked for them. They don’t diagnose, treat or give therapy. When someone needs professional help, we guide them to it.
A marketplace, built around mentors
Mentors are independent. You choose your hours and set your own price within our guidance. Risefellow handles everything around you: matching, booking, payments, training, supervision and safety. That leaves you free to focus on the person in front of you.
No guilt, no shame
Shame keeps people stuck. We never measure anyone by “days clean” and never reset progress after a setback. A slip is part of the path, and the next conversation matters more than the last mistake.
A long journey, not a quick fix
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s better management of problematic use and the ability to cope with life: stress, loneliness, boredom, relationships. That takes time, so we reward staying connected, not streaks. Showing up to sessions, checking in and supporting others is what counts, for seekers and mentors alike.
More than one way to get support
Free intro sessions, one-to-one mentoring, and accountability partners and small groups for anyone who wants to give and receive support. Anyone can become an accountability partner, and anyone who has made real progress and has a story to share can apply to mentor. We’ll add more services as the community grows.
Faith is welcome, never required
Risefellow is not a faith-based programme. If a seeker wants faith to be part of their support, they can choose a mentor who is comfortable with that. If not, it never comes up.
Safety first
Every mentor completes free training, developed with a licensed clinician, before anyone is matched. Mentors work with supervision and know how to guide someone to urgent help. Mentoring on porn is always same-gender. All contact stays on Risefellow, so everyone stays protected.
