Kooth, from XenZone, is an online counselling and emotional well-being service for children and young people, available free at the point of access. At Kooth we work with a range of young people including young carers. Our online team are here for you and the unique challenges you may face. 

Kooth is:

Kooth helps to reduce wait times for all young people seeking help and removes stigma around mental health. Kooth integrates with face-to-face local services to ensure a seamless transition for young people. XenZone’s team of accredited counsellors, therapistsand support workers provide guided, outcome-focused help for each individual.

XenZone works with local authorities, CCGs, mental health trusts, charities and other organisations to provide early intervention support with clear escalation and de-escalation pathways.

We take safeguarding and clinical governance extremely seriously. The safety and well-being of our users is of our upmost priority.
