Since we launched in October, our mental health app has been gaining increasing attention in the press. Aimed at helping people manage the symptoms of stress, anxiety and mild to moderate depression, ours is the only UK self-help app to use clinically proven content. The programme was developed by the world-renowned Black Dog Institute, using established therapeutic techniques.

Here’s a roundup of some of our recent press coverage.

Metro newspaper featured us in their App Happy section in December, describing us as follows: ‘This virtual diary helps users deal with the symptoms of stress, anxiety and mild to moderate depression.

The ‘virtual diary’ – known as ‘Moments’ – is a great way to track your progress as you work through our learning modules.
