Online therapy whenever or wherever you need it

Online therapy

We understand that individual therapy or groups aren't for everyone.

If you prefer to access support from your therapist online, without appointments or talking directly to someone, our online therapy courses called SilverCloud could be for you.

We offer a wide range of online courses to treat common problems and help you learn ways to manage low mood and anxiety, improve your sleep and build resilience.

You can access things like video clips, quizzes and case studies all designed to help you boost your mood and understand your situation.

There are also stories from other people, so you can see their experiences of using the treatment and how this may help you.

A trained therapist will follow your progress and offer you tips and advice - all online and accessed on your own time.

If you can't see the right course listed below or if you're not sure if online-only therapy is for you, speak to our friendly admin team to arrange a wellbeing assessment on 0300 365 2000.

When you’re registered with SilverCloud, we’ll put you in touch with your own supporter. The supporter will be one of our therapists, who can guide you through your programme.

You’ll have up to six reviews with your supporter approximately every two weeks, where they will monitor your progress on the programme.

You can leave comments for your supporter, who will pick these up at your review. They’ll leave comments and suggestions online of what might be helpful for you to work on.

You don’t need to be online for each review, but the next time you log on after a review, you’ll be asked to complete the questionnaires that will help your supporter assess your current mood.

The course may run from anywhere between 6-12 weeks.

Once you have finished your reviews with your supporter, you’ll continue to have access to SilverCloud online therapy for a further nine months should you need a recap on the tools and techniques you have learnt.
