About Wysa

Wysa is a mental health app built around a chatbot that helps people talk through worries, low mood, anxiety and stress. Conversations guide you towards exercises drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy and mindfulness, and many skills come as short audio sessions. You don't have to give your name, which makes it easier to start for people put off by the stigma of seeking help. Chatting with the AI is free; a premium subscription unlocks the full tool library, and in some countries you can pay extra for text or video sessions with a human wellbeing coach. It is not a crisis service and the coaching is not a replacement for therapy or diagnosis. A large share of Wysa's business now runs through employers, insurers and health services such as NHS Talking Therapies, which often give members premium access at no cost. It runs on Android, iOS and the web.

Best for: People who want private, low-cost support for stress or low mood before or between therapy sessions..
