Your mental health journey with SilverCloud
SilverCloud® by Amwell® is a leading evidence-based digital mental health and wellbeing platform used by over one million people. SilverCloud programmes offer a new way to a healthier mind.
It uses proven tools based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support a variety of mental health issues.
The platform can be accessed immediately through any device, 24 hours a day, and is easy to use.
Access the platform for free with a referral from a GP, HSE Primary Care Psychologist, HSE Therapist/Counsellor (National Counselling Service/Counselling in Primary Care), HSE Community Mental Health team or Jigsaw.
In this video you’ll hear from Aidan, a Supporter working with SilverCloud clients.
How SilverCloud works?
The platform uses clinically proven digital CBT programmes which last 6-8 weeks. During those 6-8 weeks:
- You will learn about CBT and how to use its principles to support your mental health and wellbeing.
- You will be assigned a Supporter, who will guide you through your programme by sending you written reviews on a weekly basis.
Self-guided use will continue to be available to you even after you complete the guided portion of the programme.

Meet a supporter
It’s really meaningful work. I might see someone share a message that they’ve taken something that they’ve learned from the programme, applied it to their day-to-day life and they’re noticing a difference. You are getting them started on their first step towards a better life, where they feel more comfortable in themselves and more confident in their abilities.
Aidan
My favourite part about being a Supporter is being there for someone through a really difficult time. Seeing them learn new insights and skills is very rewarding.

What our users say
I liked that I received solid advice and coping strategies. In the past, I was only given vague and non-specific advice which I didn't find helpful. The program actively helped me to alter my behaviour and really helped me deal with my anxiety.
Alan
Having clear and structured modules helped me to work through my issues without making me feel frustrated as it was clear that the necessary changes would not occur overnight, yet progress was being made.
