Kooth offers free at the point of access mental health care to more than 5.4 million people via NHS commissioners, corporates, social workers, GPs and schools across the UK. It provides a mix of community-created content, forum sessions with other community members, and one-to-one counselling via online chat. All users sign up anonymously for the free-of-charge service and there's no digital tracking of session IP addresses. The aim is to provide a safe space where each person can get the support they need.
As a pioneer in online counselling, Kooth brings together emerging technologies with innovation in clinical practice and evaluation to create new models of care in mental health. The 2020-hired CEO Tim Barker’s data science experience will prove very useful in exploring whether there are patterns in its historic dataset that can be helpful to future users.
Kooth’s 2020 IPO came at a time when London listings were sparse. A testament to the important contribution its services can make at a time when businesses are becoming more conscious of the need to foster well-being in their employees and in the wider world. This is further exemplified by the 33% soar in share prices after a contract was announced to serve 13 to 25-year-olds in California.
