Boosting your Mental Wellbeing with Supported Online Therapy

There are times when we all need help to deal with life’s challenges. Whether you’re under pressure at work, struggling with financial issues or dealing with family troubles, stress and worry can quickly become overwhelming. And the more stressed you feel, the less able you are to solve the problems you’re facing.

The good news is that learning how to manage your wellbeing will make it easier to cope with stressful situations. By building your resilience you can regain a feeling of balance in your life and start to take back control.

Online therapy programmes that are proven to work

We have invested in mental wellbeing programmes that are free for you to use, and they have already helped over 1 million people to feel better. In fact, most people who use our supported online therapy programmes show improvements in just three months.

Backed by 20 years of research, Amwell is the global leader of clinically proven digital cognitive behaviour therapy (iCBT) programmes.

If you’re looking for supported online therapy, our mental health programmes are completely free to you, and they have already helped over 1 million people to feel better. In fact, most patients showed improvements in just three months. And don’t worry, if you’re on the waiting list for in-person therapy, signing up for a supported online therapy programme does not mean that you’ll lose your place.

Programmes we offer

At Kent and Medway talking therapies, we’re happy to be able to offer two different supported online therapy programme options. These are:

Supported step 2 programmes

On a supported programme, you will have a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) assigned to you who will regularly check in with you to review your progress. Your PWP will check in with you firstly by phone, and then online throughout the remainder of your programme. Your progress is reviewed as you go.

• Space from Anxiety
• Space from Depression
• Space from Depression and Anxiety
• Space from GAD
• Space from OCD
• Space from Panic
• Space from Phobia
• Space in Chronic Pain from Depression & Anxiety
• Space in Diabetes from Depression & Anxiety
• Space in Lung Conditions from Depression & Anxiety

Unsupported programmes

An unsupported programme (if you have been discharged or on a waiting list) is fully self-directed.

• Space for Perinatal Wellbeing
• Space for Positive Body Image
• Space for Sleep
• Space from Health Anxiety
• Space from Money Worries
• Space from Social Anxiety
• Space from Stress

How does Supported Online Therapy work?

If a PWP feels you are suitable for free online therapy, they will send you a direct link which you can then use to create your account free of charge.

After you’ve signed up, you’ll be assigned a supporter who will check in with you each week if you are on a supported programme. They will help you to set goals and apply the support to your life.

Supported online therapy programmes are easy to use, confidential, and can be accessed anywhere via a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Each module comes with its own tools and coping mechanisms, tailored to your individual mental health goals.

Please note that supported online therapy is not suitable for everyone.

How do I access Supported Online Therapy?

What should I do if I’m not finding the programmes helpful?

If you feel that your treatment isn’t working for any reason, the best course of action is to talk to your therapist. We’d rather you share your concerns with us than disengage from treatment and miss out on the support you need.

Your therapist can address your concerns and explore other options for support. We offer a variety of therapy formats and want to ensure we’re providing the most effective and appropriate support for you.

When online therapy isn’t suitable

Online therapy cannot offer the level of support you may need if you’re feeling unable to cope or keep yourself safe.
