Imagine a life
without anxiety
While it’s normal to feel anxious from time to time, for some people anxiety can become overwhelming. Too much anxiety can stop us from doing the things we want to do, and achieving the things we want to achieve. We might even be so used to feeling anxious that we don’t notice all the ways in which anxiety could be holding us back from living a calmer, happier life.
Thankfully, anxiety is highly treatable. Alena has digitised the most effective, evidence-based tools from cognitive-behavioural therapy and distilled them into an app that’s enjoyable and easy to use.
The GAD-7 originates from Spitzer RL, Kroenke K, Williams JB, et al; A brief measure for assessing generalized anxiety disorder: the GAD-7. Arch Intern Med. 2006 May 22;166(10):1092-7. GAD-7 © Pfizer Inc. all rights reserved
Crisis support: If located in the UK, you can access immediate support by contacting the Samaritans at 116 123, a free and confidential helpline available 24/7 for anyone in emotional distress

I recommend this app for people who struggle with anxiety. It's well made and also the developers behind it are really nice people who seem to actually want to help others. Give it a try

Alena is detailed and specific to social anxiety. So far it's been extremely helpful with my experience challenging my thoughts surrounding social anxiety and other issues. The app discusses exposure to combat social anxiety and this is a tool I've tried before but not with guidance. Alena gives guidance on exposure and many other tools in a calming, helpful tone. […] Thank you for creating an amazing app, I can tell that this app was created with passion, knowledge and kindness.

This app has been brilliant at helping me work through my social anxiety. I've done CBT before and it didn't work so I was skeptical, but the way Alena does it is a different approach and I find it very helpful! Thank you!
