Navigate your feelings of anxiety and worry with help from your digital guide

Using the ieso app, you will have interactive conversations, much like a text conversation, with your digital guide. Written by ieso’s accredited clinicians, the programmed digital guide will walk you through videos, educational content, and interactive worksheets.

I am more than what my mind sees me as, or than how other people see me. Every situation is different, and I have the power to control my story.

People often ask us...

People often want to know how the ieso programme app works and what is involved.  Here’s some of the questions we are often asked:

What do the weekly programme sessions involve?

The sessions will involve you having a conversation with the digital guide, typing answers to questions relating to how you are experiencing worry and anxiety symptoms. You will watch, listen to, and read expert content to help you develop new skills. You will also be invited to complete in-between session tasks that give you the opportunity to practice these skills and try to apply them in your everyday life. Practicing these skills has been proven to help people better manage symptoms of worry and anxiety and live well.

When can I start a new session?

Each new session will be made available after you have completed the previous session and had some time to reflect. When the next session is ready, it will be visible on the ‘today’ screen of the app and titled the session number e.g., “Session 1”. This way you can see how many you have completed, and you can always find your completed transcripts and videos in the ‘Journal’ section.

What will this programme cost me?

This programme is available free through your NHS Talking Therapies provider and will not cost you anything to use.
