goodtalk is a digital health platform which provides accessible, affordable and effective talking therapies, delivered person-to-person and online.
This digital health service solves some key problems:
- provides users convenient access to timely help
- matches users with the right therapist
- reduces the cost of private therapy
This venture seeks to address a vast unmet need: mental health has the highest disease burden in the UK, more than cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It costs the UK £105 billion, including in lost productivity at work. In addition, 3 out of 4 people who need help are not getting it and 9 out of 10 people with mental health issues suffer stigma and discrimination.
