Kooth is an online emotional wellbeing and mental health support service for young people in Greater Manchester aged 10-25.

Our service is free for young people to use and is self-referral, meaning there is no need to visit a GP to access the service.

Kooth is completely anonymous, it takes just a few minutes to sign up to the site where young people can then speak to fully qualified counsellors, therapists and mentors until 10pm, 365 days per year.

There are also forums, a magazine and a range of activities where young people can get peer-based advice; these are all fully moderated by Kooth staff to ensure a safe and supportive environment.

We are a BACP accredited organisation, and will continue to support young people for the duration they need.

Parents: please email [email protected] for further information.

We have also produced a Guide for parent carers about how to talk to your children about their feelings as well as helpful guides / factsheets for young people about:
Navigating low mood
Understanding self-injury and self-harm
Social anxiety
