Kooth

Kooth - your online well-being community

In addition to tidyMinds there's a virtual counselling and support service for youngsters in Swansea called Kooth - kooth.com

Children and young people can use an anonymous digital counselling and mental health support service.

Designed as a fully safeguarded and pre-moderated community, the British Association of Psychotherapy and Counselling accredited service offers one-to-one, anonymous counselling sessions with fully trained and qualified counsellors and emotional wellbeing practitioners.

Once logged in, users can access message boards and visit a library of self-help magazine style content created by their peers and mental health experts.

Counselling sessions run 365 days a year, from midday to 10.00pm on weekdays, and from 6.00pm to 10.00pm at weekends, and can be booked in advance or accessed as drop-in instant, text-based chats.

There are no thresholds for support and no waiting lists.
