Soluna by Kooth

Soluna by Kooth helps young people with their mental health and wellbeing. You can use Kooth to help with lots of different things, including mental health difficulties (like anxiety, low mood, or eating problems), as well as life challenges like relationship issues, exam pressures, or moving schools.

What can you do in the Soluna by Kooth app?

Soluna by Kooth has resources as well as spaces to chat.

The resources include therapeutic mini activities, articles, a journal section, inspiring stories, and calming exercises.

You can anonymously talk to other young people on moderated discussion forums – this means that adults check the things people post before they’re published. They do this to keep everyone safe.

You can also chat to mental health professionals by message – they can support you and offer clinically safe advice. You can book a chat or join the drop-in queue. These chats can be a one-off, but you can also have a series of chats if that would be more helpful for you. The professionals are only online during specific times, but the rest of Soluna is always there for you to explore.

How does the Soluna by Kooth app help?

Soluna by Kooth aims to make sure that young people can access support early, without needing to get a referral from anyone.

Kooth says it draws from different therapeutic models to offer evidence-based support in the moment. You can find out more about Kooth’s clinical approach on the Kooth website.
