We recognise there’s no one size fits all when it comes to managing your mental wellbeing; every brain is different, and that’s to be celebrated.

While open and accessible to all, we focus our efforts on supporting those going through key life transitions; for example, adolescence, job changes, relationships, new families, retirement and bereavement.

Our aim is to help you help yourself, without all the preaching! sidekick is a completely free platform and app that is home to a growing collection of interactive exercises, tools, and tips to help boost your mental wellbeing. Try out exercises, save your favourites, and create your own fully personalised wellbeing toolkit. Next time you feel overwhelmed and need a helping hand, you know everything you need is in your toolkit, right where you left it.
In addition to our app, we run a podcast series called 'sidekick stories', encouraging open and honest conversations about mental health, as well as a blog featuring great content from guest bloggers.
