LEADING WITH SCIENCE

Psychological science and evidence power our platform. Developed with experts
and clinicians, safeguarding and ethics are at the heart of everything we do.

Using psychological tools, theory and research, our science underpins the Unmind approach and supports wellbeing in an accessible and effective way.

What makes us different? Our unique mix of specialisms, from clinical to organisational psychology, plus robust science and clinical rigour.

Our psychological approach

Our approach is informed by our expertise in three key areas

Clinical/Counselling Psychology

This seeks to understand, prevent and relieve psychological distress and enhance wellbeing.

  • Our psychologists shape how we talk about mental health.

  • Content and products are developed using ethical guidelines and clinical governance. 

  • We use therapeutic, evidence-based models and tools like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
    Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based interventions.

Positive psychology

Aka the science of human flourishing – to help people improve their health, and live a more fulfilled life.

  • Our experts apply psychological theory to real environments, which can help people thrive.

  • Interventions complement clinical psychology to enhance wellbeing.

  • We use evidence-based frameworks, like PsyCap, PERMA and strengths-based approaches.

Organisational psychology

This explores how systems and environments can play a role in our wellbeing.

  • Organisational psychology focuses on wider working culture and environments.

  • It informs how we tackle issues and identifies the most effective interventions to build happier, healthier workplaces.

  • Subject areas include the demands-resource and organisational justice models of employee wellbeing.
