Many people can feel too embarrassed, or too proud to ask for help. It might be an inherited trait from an upbringing or from a personal lived experience.
Thinking it is just a phase that will pass, or distracting yourself by working longer days can feel easier to hide feelings of stress, low mood, anxiety, and depression.
But you don't have to carry the burden alone.
Many people can feel too embarrassed, or too proud to ask for help. It might be an inherited trait from an upbringing or from a personal lived experience.
Thinking it is just a phase that will pass, or distracting yourself by working longer days can feel easier to hide feelings of stress, low mood, anxiety, and depression.
But you don't have to carry the burden alone.
Did you know that one in four people in the UK will experience a mental health condition. At ieso we believe everyone should have access to health services easily and with respect.
Typed cognitive behavioural therapy can help you develop practical skills to use in day-to-day life that help with low mood, anxiety, and even depression. Its confidential and available free through the NHS.
It only takes a minute or two to check if typed cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is available to you.
Whenever you’re ready to start your typed therapy, we’re ready to help.
Typed therapy takes place online via a secure platform. As the sessions are typed, you do not have to speak to anyone, and no one will overhear your conversation. You won't need to worry about traveling to appointments, simply find a quiet place, like the comfort of your sofa to begin your session.
Appointments are available from 6 am to 11 pm helping to work around any shift patterns. Before each session, your therapist will check in with how you are, so we can tailor your treatment to be as effective as possible. Between sessions, we’ll ask you to keep a journal and do thinking exercises to help develop positive, long-term habits.
Research shows a little work leads to better recovery and can help keep you feeling well after your therapy sessions have ended.
Our patients tell us typed therapy makes it easier to open up and reflect on their thoughts and behaviours than if they were sat in front of a therapist. The additional benefits of typed therapy include:

Felt lighter after my first appointment and there wasn’t the pressure of having to speak to someone or see someone, I was able to take my time and type what I wanted to say which I found helped me express myself more easily.
