WHY choose THIS WAY UP
Created by a world-leading team, our courses are clinically proven to help
Our team of experienced mental health professionals is passionate about transforming effective psychological therapy into practical online tools to help you manage your mental health.
- Who We Are
- What We Do
THIS WAY UP is run by clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, researchers, and web technicians based at the Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety and Depression (CRUfAD) – a joint facility of St Vincent’s Hospital and the University of New South Wales.
- To date, we have created over 15 tailored courses for a range of mental health conditions, which makes THIS WAY UP the largest e-health learning platform in Australia.
- Our online courses are available instantly without a need for an assessment or a referral, making it easier for you to access quality mental health self-help.
- We also give GP’s, psychologists, and other mental health professionals access to our platform so they can use our courses to treat their patients, which means you can complete a course with the help of your own clinician.
We develop, test, and release scientifically-based online courses that help treat anxiety and related mental health conditions. All of our courses are based on the clinically-proven Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
- Our courses teach practical, psychological skills designed to help you manage difficult emotions, tackle unhelpful thoughts, and gain control over symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.
- Our courses are designed to mimic the education, skills, and strategies you would learn if receiving CBT from a qualified mental health professional face-to-face.
- Our courses are self-paced and are designed to be completed within 6 to 12 weeks. You can enrol in a course as “self-help” or speak with your regular GP to see if they can “prescribe” our course to you and support you throughout.
