Stress & Anxiety Companion

I really liked this app and the very knowledgeable and professional content. I was even happy to accept the paid for subscription but I have been unable to access it despite having a subscription and they do not reply to emails.

Won’t even let me sign in

This app has so many great resources covering sleep, anxiety, long covid and procrastination. Within each topic there’s reading guides and listening guides. They also do online workshops / webinars which are really good. Would highly recommend.

This app is like having a pocket therapist. The search feature is excellent and the bite sized chapters of the audio guides makes listening super convenient. Very impressed that the app content is consistently growing and evolving and that featured guides often correspond to dates in the mental health calendar. It works as a regular stress nullifier and as an interesting and ever expanding resource into one’s own psyche.

I have loved this app for years and when they started to charge me I thought, ok it’s worth it. But oh no! They have updated the app and changed it. The mindful body scan was a really relaxing sounding man and it’s now a woman. I know if you have just downloaded the app this will not matter to you but it’s just not the same anymore. Gutted because I will deffo cancel my subscription now.

Excellent audio guides for managing my anxiety at work.

This app immediately got me out of an anxiety attack and has taught me so much. I love it

I have used this app regularly over the last 2 years to manage anxiety. The breathing exercises have made a massive difference to me and also lots of good content on understanding stress and learning how to manage it.

The free things you can use are pretty basic readings and breathing exercises you can find online. Everything else you need to pay £1.99. Maybe the app itself is better than 2 stars, but I'll never know as I could barely use any of it. I'm not a fan of apps that are free to download and then charge you for almost everything once you're in the app.

I found the Companion app via the NHS website and it has really helped me to manage some severe anxiety that was triggered in the past week. The box breathing exercise grounds me so that I can avoid feeling panicky and the CBT exercises help to rationalise my thoughts. Absolutely invaluable. Thank you.
