What you're booking

Is self-help tools what you need?

Mood trackers, journals, breathing and grounding exercises, sleep logs. Useful mainly as an input to therapy, a filled-in mood log turns a vague 'it's been a bad month' into something a therapist can actually work with. Rarely worth paying for on their own.

Before you book

What to check when choosing self-help tools

The questions that separate a good fit from an expensive false start. Ask them before the first paid session, not after.

  1. 1

    Check whether your therapist can see the data

    Tools that feed into your sessions are useful. Tools that sit in a silo are a habit tracker.

  2. 2

    Watch the notification design

    Some apps are engineered for daily engagement rather than your wellbeing. You should be able to turn all of it off.

  3. 3

    Read the data policy

    Mood and journal entries are sensitive health data. Find out what's stored, for how long, and whether it's used to train anything.
