So... what does Buddy do?
Buddy listens, reflects, and offers personalised coaching. Delivered through an engaging app with interactive quests and rewards, it makes mental health support more accessible, diverse, and enjoyable.
Nurture a friend
Meet your new furry (or scaly) sidekick on your mental health journey. Pick an animal friend to join you as you navigate therapy sessions and complete quests. Whether it's a moustached pig or a dapper penguin, you'll nurture and care for your buddy, watching them grow as you do. Because let’s be honest—everything’s better with an animal by your side!

The barriers we face
Let's talk about the tough truths we can't ignore.
01
48 Million
people in the UK can't afford therapy yet, 1 in 4 adults experience mental health issues
02
LGBTQIA+ and BAME communities
are at higher risk of mental health issues but underrepresentation in mental health services, stigma and fear of discrimination means these groups are underserved
03
34% of young people have mental health issues
making them the age group with the highest prevalence but, they're also the least likely to get help
04
Men are 50% less likely to get help
due to feelings of embarrassment and fear of negative stigma
Our mission
Statistics reveal significant mental health disparities among underserved communities, highlighting a broader issue rather than an isolated problem. While we do not claim to solve these deep-rooted challenges entirely, our goal is to offer a viable alternative for those who face barriers to traditional therapy, such as affordability, stigma, or lack of access. With Buddy, our aim is to provide a discreet, anonymous, and stigma-free space for talking therapy, ensuring that individuals who may not otherwise seek help can access support in a safe and judgment-free environment.
