At Expert Self Care, we work with forward-thinking NHS bodies, universities, charities, and councils to enhance their support for under-resourced groups — with certified, free apps. 

When people can't find answers, your services feel the strain.

Health and wellbeing services are stretched beyond limits, and too many people fall through the cracks — especially those with mental health issues or who've historically been excluded.

When people can't easily access trustworthy information to help them make the right choices, that pressure grows and becomes costly — particularly for urgent care providers.

Your challenges are massive — and so is the potential for change.

These are tough times, and we want to help. If your services are overwhelmed and you need a different approach to reach your priority groups, you can now draw on the power of award-winning self-help apps.

  • Improve health knowledge — provide credible, practical content and dispel misinformation.
  • Advance safe self-care — activate people, enable early intervention, improve outcomes.
  • Signpost support — prevent crises and suicides, reduce demand, save resources.

No jargon. No ads. No sign-up. Just clear, kind, and evidence-informed advice on topics that matter. Instantly accessible — even offline.

Positive user feedback, client reports, and evaluations. Widely used in the NHS, UK higher education, public health, and beyond — over 250K downloads and 1.5M+ page views.

Choose a service that fits your needs — and your budget.
