In 2001 we led the way in putting counsellors online, reaching those less likely to walk through the therapist’s door. Today, we are breaking ground again, using data and AI to create new models in preventative, early response mental healthcare.
We are making clinically excellent practices available to more people so they can thrive outside the shadow of poor mental health.
Digital technology enables us to deliver services at the point of need, without having to wait, to large numbers of people and at an affordable cost.
We are strong proponents of early intervention to prevent poor mental health and as early response support. Our clinical team operate in a pluralistic framework – recognising that there are key ingredients to therapy that runs across different models. They are trained in a range psychological approaches (including CBT, DBT, humanistic and psychodynamic psychotherapy) and take an integrative approach to delivering therapy online, underpinned by an evidence base and with a strong grounding of theoretical knowledge.
Our long history of delivering online counselling and support, means we hold unique data which will ensure technology is used to its best effect in mental healthcare. Building future models of care requires cutting-edge development and research. We seek to hire and collaborate with the sharpest thinkers in emerging technologies. Our work into AI and machine learning is already underway, and investigations into how we can use deep learning, RNNs and LSTMs will follow.
Co-production is part of our organisational DNA; nowhere is this more apparent than in technology. The best technology can’t be helpful if no one uses it. We build beautiful and delightful apps, web and chat experiences designed to be part of the therapeutic process.
