Support young minds unwind.

Mello is a smartphone app developed by psychologists that effectively targets the root cause of anxiety & depression — stuck thinking. It’s the perfect tool to complement existing care.

So, how exactly
does Mello help?

Mello is your comprehensive mental health toolkit for stuck thinking, offering you relief from a wound up mind and skills to handle stuck thinking long term.

Drawing on the latest scientific research, Mello brings you effective, evidence-based techniques that work for getting unhooked from negative thoughts.

These techniques aren’t the type of generic exercises you’ve done in most wellness apps.

They’ve been developed by psychologists and scientists, alongside young people, and they’re based on psychological treatment approaches like:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Meta-cognitive therapy (MCT)

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).

Designed to target
stuck thinking.

Ever find yourself trapped in a cycle of repetitive thoughts, worrying endlessly about things beyond your control, or dwelling on things you wish you could change?

This is called stuck thinking.

We all do it, but when we spend too much time going over and over negative thoughts in our mind, it can leave us feeling anxious and depressed.
