Mindbox, the UK's first online therapy service, which was founded by Anna Richardson, is offering our lovely readers an exclusive discount on their membership and services.
The Mindbox website offers around the clock help for people struggling with a range of mental health issues - from anxiety and panic attacks to managing stress. Whether you are looking for a wellness toolkit or online counselling, there is a service that can help.
What is Mindbox and who is behind it?
Their mission is to "provide the best therapy, in the right place, when you need it the most". We believe it’s important to be able to access support whenever and however you need it, which is why woman&home has partnered with Mindbox to bring you an exclusive discount on online counselling and membership packages.
Mindbox was founded by TV presenter Anna Richardson, who's also a qualified Cognitive Hypnotherapist, and Gareth Ogden, who's spent over a decade studying psychology and cognitive therapy, particularly focusing on how anxiety can affect performance.
Anna herself has spoken about her struggle with mental health issues, highlighting how having to wait for professional help can severely harm those who are struggling.
"If you're suffering from severe anxiety, waiting 10 weeks to access any kind of service can be a life sentence", she said.
"The only other option is that you have to pay for your psychotherapy, which can be very expensive. Mindbox offers a much-needed solution between the two, making therapy affordable and accessible for everybody."
What services do Mindbox offer? Do they provide online counselling?

Mindbox has glowing reviews from its users, with 100% of them reporting a reduction in their stress and anxiety levels within 7 days of use.
The improvement is particularly noted by users who started the programme with higher levels of anxiety.
One user said of the service, 'I can't quite believe how quickly it worked.'
Another added, 'I just feel more comfortable knowing that I have it on me.'
At a time when anxiety levels are through the roof due to uncertainty, this might be well worth a try.
