Text graphic with cloud background: Online therapy to support your mental health and wellbeing. For people ages 16+ experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, depression or stress.

What is SilverCloud Wales?

Some 1 in 4 adults struggle with mental health challenges, like feeling low, anxious or stressed. SilverCloud Wales is an Online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) service designed to support your mental health and wellbeing. CBT works by encouraging you to challenge the way you think and behave so that you’re better equipped to deal with life’s problems.

You can download the SilverCloud Wales programme booklet here. 

Who is it for?

SilverCloud Wales Online Therapy is a self-help service. It is suitable for:

  • People aged 16+ with mild to moderate levels of anxiety, depression or stress AND
  • Who are registered with a GP in Wales or live in Wales AND
  • Who are not receiving secondary or tertiary mental health services (e.g. not under the care of a psychiatrist or psychologist).

When you sign up for the service, you will be asked to complete a set of questionnaires to help us ensure you meet the above eligibility criteria.
