Ways of working
How this site works
The self-checks use the published questions and scoring of the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, which are free for anyone to use. They are screening questionnaires: they can suggest whether it is worth talking to someone, but they cannot diagnose anything. How the scores work.
The counsellor pages are based on public listings on BetterHelp. We will earn a commission if you start sessions through a link on a counsellor's page. The self-checks never send you there. How we make money.
