App based CBT

Hi, I’m Chris, a qualified NHS therapist with over ten years of experience helping people manage anxiety, low mood, learning disabilities and trauma.

I’ve worked in CAMHS, Talking Therapies, and local authority social care teams— and I’ve seen the impact of long NHS waiting lists on those who desperately need support.

Why This Matters
In the UK, many people seeking help for low-intensity mental health problems like anxiety or depression face wait times of 12 weeks or more — often just to begin therapy.
During this time, people are left to cope alone, and many worsen before ever accessing help.
That’s why I’m creating CBT with Me — a free app based on NHS Talking Therapies principles that offers clinically-informed support, instantly.
What the App Will Do

CBT with Me will provide:
Structured CBT modules for anxiety and low mood
Thought diaries, mood tracking, and goal setting
Psychoeducation on key CBT techniques like behavioural activation and worry management
AI-powered support to guide users through exercises, encourage progress, and simulate basic check-ins
Access to interactive tools based on real CBT worksheets.

Why I'm Asking for Your Help
I want this app to be completely free at the point of use — just like the NHS.
But creating a high-quality app takes time, expertise, and money.

Our Vision
With enough support, CBT with Me could become a go-to resource for GPs, Talking Therapies, and schools — saving the NHS money by reducing pressure on in-house therapists, and helping people access support immediately.
Instead of waiting for a therapist, this app could guide someone through the same principles in their pocket, for free.
