We work with leading research institutions to measure the effectiveness of our services and expand our understanding of mental health. With over 40 published studies, our partnerships help build a strong evidence base for pioneering digital mental health support. We’ve collaborated with experts from the London School of Economics, multiple universities, and research consortia to ensure our approach is grounded in real-world data and meaningful outcomes.
Research: the cornerstone of our services
Building mentally healthier populations can only be done through pursuing knowledge and insight. We do this through our research.
Research has been an integral part of Kooth, and for over 20 years, we've gathered vast insights from the mental health journeys of more than a million people. We use our findings, data, and technology to continuously improve Kooth, helping people get the best support for their mental health.
We lead the way in mental health research, from creating the first measure for single-session therapy to showing Kooth’s real economic impact. Our data-driven approach helps break down barriers to support. Explore our research and see how we're making mental wellbeing accessible to all, leaving no one behind.

How we’re shaping the future of mental health support
From pioneering world-first measures for digital single-session therapy to launching Soluna, a wellbeing app for young people in California, we believe in the power of scalable, online support. We’ve also developed the Integrated Digital Pathway, working hand-in-hand with NHS CAMHS professionals to offer direct support to those on waiting lists—ensuring help reaches those who need it, when they need it.
Measurable impact and meaningful change for individuals and the healthcare system
We bring positive outcomes for individuals and wider health economic benefits where it is commissioned, with independent research showing our services contribute to reductions in smoking, binge drinking, CAMHS referrals, and antidepressant prescriptions. For individuals, we see reductions in issues such as suicidal thoughts, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and loneliness. For the NHS, we help reduce hospitalisations related to suicide attempts, suicide ideation, and self-harm - while potentially preventing up to 240 GP appointments per 100 Kooth users annually. These outcomes demonstrate the real-world value of early intervention and support.
