You can start using Kooth straight away – all you need is a phone, laptop or tablet and internet access. You don’t need a referral from a GP or your school.
Everyone on Kooth stays anonymous, which helps a lot of young people feel more confident when seeking support.
Kooth is delivered in partnership with the NHS to provide free mental health support to young people.
Kooth is not a crisis support service. If you need urgent support, please dial 999 or contact urgent support services.
In some areas, Kooth is available to people aged between 18-25. We also have an adults service called Qwell. It’s available to adults in many areas across the UK. Please visit qwell.io to find out more.
Kooth is commissioned by many NHS bodies, and also by many Police Commissioning Services across the UK.
Kooth is a completely anonymous service. For further information on our data and privacy policy, please visit https://www.kooth.com/privacy

Understanding our users’ backgrounds helps us check that the services we provide are reaching as many people, from as many backgrounds, as possible. It also helps us signpost you to the right services & support. Historically, some sections of society slip through the cracks of traditional mental health support. We are dedicated to ensuring this doesn’t happen with Kooth, and really appreciate your help.
Access support from other young people
and professionals, all at your own pace.
