Our Approach

Our work is grounded in a transdiagnostic, integrative approach to mental health and wellbeing.

We focus less on diagnostic labels and more on the shared psychological patterns that shape how we think, feel, and cope.

Proposed by researchers like David Barlow and Paul Andrews, the transdiagnostic model argues:

• Many mental health conditions share underlying processes (e.g., rumination, avoidance, emotional dysregulation).
• Depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, etc., are not totally separate problems. Instead, they're different outcomes of the same underlying causes and risk factors.

Think of it like this: if several people are standing in cold, rainy weather without an umbrella, some might get a cold, others the flu, and others might be fine.

The shared risk is being out in the rain.

In mental health, that "rain" could be:

• Childhood trauma
• Chronic stress
• Poor sleep, etc.

Rather than creating separate tools for individual diagnoses, our Toolkit is designed to address the underlying processes that contribute to distress.

It's based on evidence-based therapeutic practices, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR).

We bring these approaches together into a cohesive, integrative framework that focuses on the underlying patterns shaping our psychology.

Where to Start

Our Core System

The Professional’s Mental Wellbeing Toolkit is our bestselling and most comprehensive resource.

It’s used by helping professionals across a wide range of settings – including counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, coaches, peer support practitioners, and workplace wellbeing professionals – to support psychoeducation, emotional regulation, and behaviour change.

Alongside individual practitioner use, the Toolkit is widely adopted by organisations as a practical, preventative wellbeing resource.

Personal Versions

The Mental Wellbeing Toolkit is closely aligned with the professional version and is designed for individuals who want to work through the same system in a self-guided way.

This allows people to engage with the same core framework independently or alongside professional support.

Mindfulness Tools

The Mindfulness Journal is a specialised deep-dive into mindfulness practice.

While mindfulness is introduced in the Toolkit, the Journal offers a more comprehensive and structured guide to understanding and cultivating mindfulness.

Structured Short-Term Support

The 30 Day Mental Health Program is designed as a guided follow-on from the Toolkit. Its daily lessons and exercises build directly on the concepts introduced in the core framework, helping users deepen and reinforce their learning.

A licensed professional version is available for practitioners who wish to adapt and use the program with clients in their work.

Spirituality Resources

Spiritual wellbeing is increasingly recognised as an important component of holistic mental health.

Our upcoming tool, Becoming Whole, offers a structured, reflective way to explore spirituality alongside our core resources.

Open-Access Tools

Our Free Tools Library includes introductory eBooks, workbooks, and worksheets.

It also includes links to UK organisations for support with situational stressors such as money, housing, and employment issues.
