SilverCloud
Free online mental health therapy
People across Wales can now access free online therapy without needing to go through their GP.
People aged 16 and over experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, depression or stress can sign-up for a 12-week course of SilverCloud online therapy via their smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.
We have launched a partnership with south Gwynedd based charity Tan y Maen to help more people access the courses.
The roll-out of direct access to online therapy for Wales’ entire 16+ population recognises that people need immediate help in managing their mental health and wellbeing as the impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt, and reduces barriers to accessing this support.

Additional support
We have launched a partnership with south Gwynedd based charity Tan y Maen to help people access SilverCloud courses.
If you need help to access SilverCloud or you would like further information on whether it is the right tool for you, please click here to complete a simple questionnaire.
Upon receipt of your completed questionnaire, you will be contacted by Tan y Maen to arrange a telephone introduction to SilverCloud.
Ongoing support to navigate Silvercloud will be provided by telephone and WhatsApp message. This is in addition to the psychological support provided directly through SilverCloud Supporters, which lasts for 12 weeks.
