Kooth Digital Health Reviews

Chloe from Kooth presented an assembly to our school relating to Kooth. It was excellent to hear what Kooth has to offer and our young people have already been accessing this, but it was good forn all our students to know what extra support is out there.

Well delivered session, particularly relevant in the current climate.

Holly from the Kooth team, came along and delivered an informative session to the Young Carers I support, around mental health and how to sign up to Kooth for more help. It was a relaxed session and Holly was great at answering any questions that was thrown their way. Thank you so much :)

Shelley was incredibly informative, and delivered a very compelling talk to our students. would definitely Book again

Kooth came in to our school and delivered an assembly and tailored sessions to our secondary school children, excellent resource. We look forward to working with you and your workshops next academic year.

I know there are quite a few negative reviews on here, but I really can't fault Kooth. I made my account back in 2018, and they were the first people I ever spoke to about the eating issues I was having. They've shown me so much support throughout was has been a tricky treatment journey for me over the past few years, and I am so extremely grateful for the help. In particular, DeDe and Elsa both worked with me for a while, and really made such a difference for me when things were particularly challenging. Thank you so much. I give a lot of credit to Kooth for getting me through difficult times, and for helping me get to where I am today. I recommend the site to anyone who may need some extra support. Yes, the wait times can be long, but they are a free service for us and help so many people. I hope anyone considering joining Kooth, does give them a shot. Thank you everyone at Kooth!

We had CLEO O in our EAST LONDON Primary School in Newham giving a talk on the impact of Anxiety Stress Depression on young people yes as young as 8-12 they suffer from Mental health issues to and need as much support as we can give. day to day life at school, home, exams , puberty, the whole thing is difficult for many. It is available for teenagers too ! As a Learning Mentor in a school we can give as much support as possible with family and other outside agencies. However, many children are embarassed or held back by stigma's attached to struggling mental health. This is where people like CLEO and companies like KOOTH come in. They are online TICK children love to be online on their phones in the privacy of their homes/bedrooms. The Counsellors are well trained TICK The service is available most of the day TICK It's anonymous so they don't know who you are and exact details about you. TICK TICK It will alert the correct people if they think a child/family member may be at risk in some way given what they are told TICK They offer advice on everything affecting young people nothing is too somall or trivial. Its easy to register. CLEO is among one of the Schools Co-ordinators who go into schools and deliver the 'what KOOTH has to offer ' talk. she is enthusiastic, patient, knowledgeable, understanding, ready to answer questions from the young people and teachers. Above all she is a great ambassador for KOOTH (a free service) as she cares. It can really help Children and Parents who can point their children towards KOOTH if they are struggling and find talking to parent/carers awkward etc. A Great tool for Young People and a much needed service in these stressful times.

A really helpful assembly pitched perfectly to support students during exam time and signpost the range of help Kooth offers

Cleo did an outreach workshop with the Young Adult Carers I work with. It was tailored perfectly to their needs - Cleo was relatable and empathic, pitching the subject of mental health and Kooth in an informal, down to earth way that enabled the YP to engage fully with what was going on.

Really helped my step daughter when she was anxious about moving to a new city. The person she spoke to gave great advice and made her feel calmer about the transition she was about to embark on.

I encouraged my child to use Kooth during a very difficult time when they were on a long waiting list for face to face support. It really helped and would recommend.

As a young persons counsellor, I often recommend Kooth to my students. Knowing it’s somewhere safe they can go to in the first instance, especially during the school holidays and given very long waiting lists for long term therapy, it gives me some peace of mind.

I waited over 2 hours and then gave up. This is the 3rd time I've logged on and not been able to get a chat. Looking at the other reviews on here I'm not the only one that thinks this is a terrible service. Thankfully I've managed to get help elsewhere wirh an actual counsellor, not a robot.

I can finally speak to someone without being judged and I can relate to others

I love the chat and forum features . It helps me express what I'm feeling without being judged.

I felt heard and understood. I had a place/someone i could open up to about anything and everything. I feel like i'm not alone when i'm going through a hard time.It's just the best place to go to when you want to talk to someone anonymously about anything and everything.

Cant even log on because my location isnt even an option ☹️ (Leicestershire)

Six months ago, after the passing of my aunt, I was struggling badly with my mental health. I felt embarrassed to speak out about my problems to my family because they appeared to have been dealing with it well. So I turned to Kooth to seek help and open up about my problems. After numerous confidential counselling sessions and relating to users in the peer-to-peer forms, I felt like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am not saying I am 100% back to myself, however I can confidently say that Kooth has helped me heel. Would recommend to anyone that values anonymity because it means you can be open about your mental health

What I value on Kooth is the fact every comment is checked, we can give others advice, the activities, and so on. (In other words, I love everything!!)
