In-person therapy vs Alena app
In-person therapy
-
Public health care systems are overloaded globally and there are long waitlists for help. It can also take many tries to find the therapist you like.
Alena is 100% app based meaning you can start immediately and learn to become your own therapist.
-
A session with a private therapist in the UK costs anything between £60-£150 and you can see them at most 4 times a month.
With in-person therapy, you can get help when the therapist is available. With Alena, you can get help when you need it.
-
With social anxiety, it can be triggering to meet with a therapist and fear of judgment is a barrier.
-
With in-person therapy, it can take weeks before the next appointment which can delay the progress of therapy. Homework is often boring and not personalised to your situation.
Alena App

When Alena is launched, you will be able to download it for free and immediately start the process of therapy.
-
By using neuroscience-based assessments and mobile technology, Alena is able to support you at a fraction of the cost.

I noticed myself being more aware of how my anxiety was, challenging negative behaviours and managing to identify developing negative thought bias.

The gentle use of language, even if you didn’t succeed at a task it didn’t make you feel bad, it just picked you up and encouraged you that you were doing great even attempting the task

The exercises were very useful and the explanations helped me understand why I feel this way and how I can improve.
