How do I use Mindler?

Using Mindler is easy, just follow these four simple steps. First, download the app for free on either App Store or Google Play, depending on your smartphone. Then, create an account and choose which psychologist you’d like to speak to. All available times will be listed in the app, so choose the time that suits you best. Once it’s time for your appointment, your psychologist will contact you in the app, so make sure you’re logged in on your phone and ready to begin in plenty of time. During your first appointment, your psychologist will make an assessment and will then discuss possible treatment options with you.

Learn more about self-help programmes

At Mindler, we have a growing library of self-help programmes that can be accessed in our app.

These programmes cover a range of topics such as depression, stress and anxiety, and Mindler is constantly developing new programmes informed by research and evidence. The programmes typically contain information of what the specific distress may look or feel like, as well as exercises to help patients better understand whatever difficulty they may be going through, and to practice applying techniques to their daily lives to better manage their difficulties.

Patients can either work their way through the programmes on their own, or with the help of a psychologist.

How to access the programmes:

Book in and have an appointment with one of Mindler’s psychologists, who can guide the patient to whichever programme might be most relevant to them.
