How it works
Four steps: understand what you’re feeling, try self-help tools, build daily routines, and choose whether to book a therapist.
Self-help tools are available in one place around the clock, before therapy and between sessions. You can book a consultation with a professional at an available time.
Not sure where to start?
We make the first step easier. We help you explore how you feel and show you self-help tools. You can also choose to book a conversation with a professional at any point.
Understand what you need
You start with a short, calm questionnaire. From it you get a personalised summary and your first suggestions, with no judgement and no pressure. It is your starting point, not a diagnosis.
Use the tools and routines
Your dashboard suggests exercises across 9 areas: from calming and breathing, through psychoeducation and working with your thoughts, to sleep and relationships. You have 300+ evidence-based tools at hand (CBT techniques, mindfulness, an emotions journal) plus small daily routines that, step by step, genuinely change your everyday life, with no pressure and at your own pace.
Connect with a therapist when needed
When you want to speak with a specialist, you can check availability and book an online consultation by text, audio or video. Between consultations, you can use the app's tools, routines and AI guidance. These are self-help features that do not diagnose you or replace professional care.

Frequently asked questions
For anyone who wants to look after their mental health day to day, before therapy or between sessions. According to WHO, 1 in 6 people in the European Region lives with a mental health condition. You do not need a diagnosis to take a first step.
Yes. When it feels like the right moment, you can book an online session by text, audio or video with a verified psychologist. We suggest tools and routines first, and human contact when it is genuinely needed.
Your journal entries are not shown to other users, but using the app is not necessarily anonymous. Check the Privacy Policy to see what data we process, why we process it and who may access it. Before a consultation, also review the specialist's confidentiality terms.
The first step is free: the questionnaire, your personalised summary, the dashboard, the mood diary and a large part of the self-therapy tools. When you want more, the PREMIUM plan unlocks the full catalogue of 300+ tools, routines, habits and support groups and lifts the remaining limits, billed monthly or yearly.
Over 300 evidence-based tools: CBT and DBT techniques, ACT exercises, mindfulness, breathing, journaling and micro-routines. HelpClinic is built in cooperation with the Medical University of Lodz.
You can reschedule or cancel a session in the app, subject to the cancellation terms shown before booking. The self-help tools and AI guide are available at any time, but they do not provide therapy, crisis counselling, or emergency help.
What people who already started say
Sophie
Started with small habits
"I did not start with big changes, just one thing a day — two minutes of breathing each morning. A few weeks on, it is a small habit I lean on when days get harder. HelpClinic never asks me to do everything at once; it suggests one step for today."
James
Using it for six months
"The worst moments used to hit at three in the morning, when anxiety would not let me sleep. Instead of scrolling my phone, I now open a short breathing exercise and the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding. The tension does not vanish at once, but I have something to do with it — and I know I can go further in the morning."
Grace
Keeps a mood journal
"For years I could not name what I was feeling. A mood journal sounded trivial — until I started writing two lines every evening. After a month I could see what was really weighing on me, and for the first time I could talk about it calmly."
