Mental Wellbeing challenges are real and urgent
Statistical Evidence
Applying science to build an evidence-based Mental Wellbeing platform for everyone.
MindOO is built by experts using the latest in psychology research that is backed by published scientific evidence. Our innovative multi-elemental approach draws what's best and effective from neuroscience and multiple mainstream therapeutic approaches. Such as Human Givens, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness, Somatic Psychotherapy.
Our Solution is innovative and effective
Scientific Evidence
MindOO is CBT and much more ...
MindOO is the pragmatic real world solution to achieving mental Wellbeing. We provide a digital but dynamic multi-element feedback based approach that is Choice rather than proforma led. Our platform attracts and engages attention, invites interaction and gives feedback as to progress thus challenging the dominant prescriptive CBT model. We combine the best elements of other scientifically proven approaches with others fromReal World practice to outperform the accepted and remarkable 50% delivered with CBT alone.
To do this MindOO combines top-down cognitive elements with others that are bottom up body and sensation based. The link is that memories combine all five senses and often require unlearning before positive relearning can happen. Sounds sights smells tastes and tactile sensations are all part of our internal map of our world that reflects our well-being or lack of it.
The modules provided on MindOO are designed to reinforce and embed psychological knowledge whilst developing an instinctive knowledge of objective self-awareness, both essential to changing mindset and building emotional resilience.
MindOO also uses gold standard psychometric assessment tools to build an Evidence base as to the effectiveness of the platform and enables users to engage with it in tracking their own progress.
Stack of published scientific evidence
We offer a unique Well-being platform combining the best of Psychological and practitioner evidence with gold standard assessment in order to provide our users with effective tools for changing and controlling their life.
