Kooth

We founded Kooth back in 2001 with a simple but powerful vision: to harness the power of the internet to transform mental health care. Our goal was to make support accessible to everyone, tackle the stigma often associated with seeking help, and empower individuals on their wellbeing journey. We achieve this by offering an anonymous service that gives people the autonomy to choose the support they want, on their own terms. For over two decades, we have been a pioneer and advocate for digital mental health support, and we're incredibly proud of the breadth and depth of expertise we've built within our organization. This journey has been about more than just technology; it's been about creating a safe, welcoming, and effective space for personalised digital mental health care that is accessible to all. We've worked tirelessly to establish digital channels as a legitimate and vital part of mental health support, a concept that took the first decade of our existence to truly take hold.

Our commitment is to be alongside you, offering a warm, welcoming, and companionable service. We believe in flexibility, which is why we put you in control, allowing you to choose the support that best fits your needs. Our approach is rooted in compassion; we don't judge, we listen, counsel, and support. We are deeply committed to being there for you, no matter what support you require. Safety is paramount, and we provide a secure space for our users with a serious commitment to safeguarding. We partner with governments, healthcare systems like the NHS, and businesses to provide individuals with access to mental health support without barriers, thresholds, or waiting lists. By offering a stigma-free and non-judgmental environment, we strive to tackle health inequity and reach groups that may not have access to traditional services. Our platforms, Kooth for young people and Qwell for adults, are designed to deliver on our vision of a world where everyone has access to well-designed, effective, and compassionate digital mental health support.
