The person struggling
Self-paced programs on pornography, gambling, social media, news and anxiety. Private, unbranded, and starting whenever you're ready.
Partners & families
For the people who just found out, or who have known for years. Betrayal trauma, boundaries, and what the first weeks actually require.
Schools & educators
Curriculum-aligned modules on digital wellbeing, cyberbullying and healthy online behaviour, with staff briefings and parent evenings.
Workplaces
White-labelled wellbeing programs delivered in your people's languages, with no individual participation data ever shared back to the employer.
How we make our content
Where AI is used, and where it never is
01.
Every script is written and approved by a qualified therapist
Course content is drafted by practitioners qualified in the subject they're teaching, and clinically reviewed before a single frame is produced. No module is published on the strength of a machine-generated draft.
02.
AI is used for production and localisation
On-screen presenters in our self-paced course videos are AI-generated, as are the synthesised voices and translations that let us deliver the same clinically reviewed material in multiple languages. The words they speak are the therapist's words.
03.
All live coaching is human - always
Every one-to-one and group session is delivered by a real, qualified practitioner. There is no AI chatbot standing in for a person, and there never will be.
04.
Your coach is not the presenter you saw
Because course presenters are AI-generated, the practitioner you're matched with won't look or sound like the person in the videos. You'll see their real name, photograph and registration details before you book.
The people behind it
Who writes it, and who you'll actually speak to
