SilverCloud is an evidenced based online programme that helps teach skills based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. It looks at thoughts and behaviours, and offers a wide range of activities to support you in making practical changes to help you improve your mood and anxiety. Alongside this you will be offered six regular reviews with a therapist. The first and last will be over the telephone and the others will be completed online.
Once you have an account you can download the SilverCloud app which allows you to access the programme anytime, anywhere, on any device that has an internet connection e.g. computer, smartphone, tablet. SilverCloud is therefore an ideal option for people who may have difficulty attending regular appointments away from home e.g. full-time workers, parents, carers. It provides a flexible way for you to access support.
Each session can be done independently (pure self-help) or with the feedback of a therapist (guided self-help) and even after you have completed treatment you will have access to the programme for an entire year. This allows you the opportunity to recap the sessions which can help maintain progress and prevent setbacks. The pure self-help option can be a particularly good first step before receiving any formal therapy. It is also a stand-alone treatment in its own right that can be accessed with minimal waiting time.
