SELF-THERAPIST
Self-therapist is a tool to support mental well-being and personal growth. It is available for personal use, and to mental health and self-development service providers.
Control and Agency
80% of people who need therapy never get to see a therapist, often due to long waitlists, or an unwillingness to discuss personal issues with someone else. This tool is designed to facilitate self-growth in the absence of a therapist.

Client thoughts
​
"This was such a helpful tool for me. I learned that it's my dysfunctional thinking patterns that are causing me problems."
​
“It did exactly what I needed it to do. I would never go to a counsellor in real life. I haven’t got the time and I don’t feel that it’s something I would benefit from. But because this was self-led, it gave me the answers I needed. So, it saved me time and money.”
​
“I was impressed by the breadth and depth of this app. The more I used it, the more useful it became. I used it for personal development, and I uncovered areas that I never realised I needed to work on.”
​
“It immediately got to the root of what I needed to think about, the reasons why, and what I can do to address that. (I realise now it’s to do with control, and my need to be a perfectionist.)”
​
“I like the fact that you can go in not really knowing what your problem is, and find out exactly what it’s about, even though you didn’t know that’s what you needed.”
​
"Self-management of mental health is not something I have ever done. It hasn’t even been on my radar and this maybe why I have struggled, especially during tricker life events. It's something I need to monitor and support myself going forwards."

Other thoughts
​
“The mental health helpers guide is fantastic. I wish I had it at the beginning of my career . All GPs would find it useful.”
