Supporting you to live well alongside a difficult diagnosis

Feel calmer and more in control


We help you ride the rollercoaster of emotions a difficult health diagnosis can bring. Our clinical experts provide easy,  evidence-based tools to support you at home, when you need it most.

All our content is designed for people managing long-term health conditions. We cover the topics that other mental health apps don’t, such as accepting a diagnosis, coping with waiting times, or caring for someone.

Not just another mental health app


Smile is the first UK mental health app tailored to the needs of people managing chronic physical health conditions. We know how hard it can be to come to terms with a difficult diagnosis, adapt to a new normal or ride the waves of uncertainty.

So we developed Smile to provide evidence based, expert led support that you can access at home, when you need it most.

Lived experience


We understand the emotional challenges of living with chronic physical  health conditions and have created Smile alongside people with lived experience. Our mission is to provide you with affordable, accessible mental health support that you can tailor to your needs.

One size doesn’t fit all


We are all for therapy – in fact we encourage it – but we also understand that it can take a long time to get an appointment and even when you do, you need help in between. Chronic physical health conditions aren’t linear and one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we use five evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness. Find out more…
