Why Heliobuddy exists

Over 100,000 people in the UK are waiting for mental health support. We believe there's a better way to support people — direct, personal, and at their own pace.

Our beliefs

1

Mate, not therapist

heliobuddy is a buddy standing beside you, not an authority above you. Challenges aren't failures — they're invitations to grow. We believe most people can help themselves, given the right support.
2

High Agency

You are the expert of your own life. Our role is to facilitate, not to take over. You set the pace, the direction, and what you share. Heliobuddy follows your lead.
3

Privacy by Design

Your data is yours. Not ours, not third parties. Everything is encrypted, nothing is shared without your explicit consent. You can export or delete your data whenever you want.
4

Evidence-based, wrapped in warmth

Our methods are based on proven techniques: cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing. But we wrap them in warm, accessible language — no jargon, no protocols.

The name heliobuddy

heliobuddy refers to the sun (Helio) — source of light, warmth and growth. Just as the sun helps plants grow by nourishing them with energy, heliobuddy helps people grow by nourishing them with insight, support and practical tools.

The team

heliobuddy is built by people who believe in a different approach.
