As the UK’s leading digital mental health service provider, Kooth plc has been providing anonymised mental health insights to support the NHS and Local Authorities, Public Health England, policymakers, charities, and businesses since the first lockdown in March 2020.
From the very beginning of the pandemic, Kooth realised that it was in a unique position to provide extraordinary insights into the impact of the pandemic on the nation’s mental health. By unearthing the effects COVID-19 has posed on society, a clearer picture of the issues that will need to be addressed now, and in the years ahead, will emerge.
Our new report explores exactly how Kooth captures the voice of service users and young people, and uses this insight to inform our complete, holistic support service.
Because our services are informed by user voice, academic rigour and innovative approaches, we deliver game-changing benefits and cost savings for the NHS, including;
– Preventing children and young people from being hospitalised due to suicidal ideation or self harm, or preventing arrests for committing crime
– Reducing GP appointments
– Reducing the number of antidepressant prescriptions
“We wanted to do more than just publish data and say that there is a pending problem. Hence, we took our data, added anonymous insights from service users, researched information from third-party reports and articles, and collaborated with experts in the field to garner their views – and with this insight the Kooth Pulse 2021: The State of the Nation’s Mental Health report was born.”

Kooth is an anonymous digital mental health platform that has access to self-declared demographic information such as age, ethnicity, geographic region, and gender but protects service user identity. The data for this report has been collected from over 192k active, anonymous Kooth service users in NHS Fiscal Year 2020 (FY2020). Service users range from 10 to 85 with those between 10 to 25 forming our children and young people population.
