WHAT MAKES KOOTH SPECIAL?
ANONYMOUS & SAFE
Kooth is safe – it’s a fully moderated platform where users can seek help without anyone knowing who they are.
Every comment, article and support chat is checked by professionals. If something is flagged as a concern, we reach out to the person.
TRUSTED
Kooth is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and delivered through the NHS.
Young people can be confident they will receive high-quality, professional care from real people, not robots.
FREE AND ACCESSIBLE
The service is fully mobile-accessible, allowing users to access support from their smartphones or tablets, making it convenient for on-the-go help.
You can use Kooth on the go, at home, or wherever you are. Using live text chat is just like sending text messages.
