The idea of committing to a therapist can be daunting, so if you want to learn the basics of CBT before you dive in, then Bloom might be exactly what you’re looking for.

The app is simple to use – just create an account and tell the app what you’re looking for, and it will provide you with a personalised ‘journey’ comprised of digital programmes, guided journaling and emotional analysis. Powered by AI, the app will then work with your input to improve your mental wellbeing over time. You can also work through any of the 300+ video sessions and CBT exercises available on the app in your own time.

Subscriptions cost £13.99 a month or £58.99 a year; @bloomapp
