HOW IT WORKS
It's simple to get started
Supporting children’s mental health shouldn't be complicated. That's why we've made getting support simple and accessible.
Choose your therapist
You and your child can browse the counsellors' profiles and decide who they’d like to work with. Once you’ve selected your therapist, we'll ask you a few questions to check that they're suitable for your child. If you're not sure who to choose. we can help with a recommendation!
Book an appointment
Once you’ve chosen your counsellor, simply click on the appointment time that suits you and enter your details. You’ll receive an email with a link to log-in to Mable where you’ll join your appointment. There’s no need to download any software, you just need a PC, laptop or tablet.
Meet your therapist
The first session is your chance to meet the counsellor, either on your own, with your child, or your child can access the session independently. It’s a chance for the counsellor to build a rapport with your child and ask some questions so they can make a recommendation to you. After the first session they'll call you to discuss next steps. You can agree on a regular session time and book a block of sessions in.
Start therapy
This is where the real journey begins! Your counsellor will use their expertise to guide and support your child, choosing the best therapeutic approach for their needs. Using our innovative platform, they’ll use talk therapy, creative resources, activities and even sometimes games, to help improve your child’s mental health.
Regular check-in calls
After the agreed block of sessions, the counsellor will call you to discuss your child’s progress and answer any questions you have. As the sessions are confidential, we'll always discuss this with your child first, so we know they're happy with what we're sharing. You may decide that this is a good place to stop, or you may agree to continue with more sessions.
"My son really enjoys the sessions, the therapist is great. She's understanding, kind and listens. She asks questions that I hadn't thought of asking and tailors sessions to his needs. So far the sessions have been brilliant and he always looks forward to them."

What happens in a Mable session?
Sometimes it's hard to open up to family or friends. Our counsellors provide a judgement-free zone where young people can express themselves freely and work through concerns.
