Kooth: Online mental health support service for people 11-18
Kooth provides free and anonymous one-to-one mental health support via live chat or messaging with qualified professionals, offering a safe and confidential space. The service is available to anyone aged 11–18, and in some areas, up to age 25.
Chats are text-based, so no video or body language worries. Writing can feel easier than talking, and our trained practitioners help you express yourself. Chat service hours are 12pm – 10pm on weekdays, and 6pm-10pm on weekends. Sign up for free.
Working in partnership with the NHS. Accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychology (BACP).
