We Realised Something Important… and It Changed Everything
Two years ago when HappyMe was launched, we wanted to make available the tasks and lessons I was teaching to my clients face-to-face more...
Using HappyMe
Overwhelmed to OK
From overwhelmed
to OK in minutes.
HappyMe is your Reset and Regulate Companion - a therapist in your pocket. Designed for the moments anxiety hits, not another meditation app to feel guilty about.
“I opened it at 2am crying.
Six minutes later I was grounded.”

You can't meditate your way out of a panic attack. For some people, meditation actually makes anxiety worse. So we built something different.

Founder, HappyMe · Practicing Therapist · Trauma and Anxiety Specialist
I’ve spent over 10 years working with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, stuck, or like they’ve somehow lost themselves. Many of them had already tried therapy. They could understand their past. They knew what had happened to make them feel the way they did… but they still didn’t feel okay and didn’t know how to change it.
HappyMe is the exercises I do with clients in my therapy room, turned into something you can reach for at 2am, before a meeting, or on a Monday morning when nothing seems wrong but everything feels wrong. It's not a meditation library. It's a toolkit.
Active exercises, not passive listeningDesigned in-clinic with real clients
If you searched for any of this…
You're not broken.
You're a human in a hard moment.
If one of these brought you here, you're in the right place. HappyMe has a specific, therapist-designed exercise for each of them, and it can work in the time it takes to make a cup of tea.
Why am I anxious
“Why does my chest go tight for no reason?”
Your nervous system is doing exactly what it evolved to do. It just can't tell the difference between a deadline and a bear. Inside the app: a 4-minute exercise to switch it off.
I can't sleep
“I'm exhausted but my brain won't stop.”
The 3am wake-up isn't insomnia. It's a body still running the day. We have a wind-down sequence built for the brain that won't switch off.
Panic attack help
“I think I'm having a panic attack.”
You can't meditate your way out of one, and you shouldn't try. The app has a grounded, body-based protocol that can start to work in minutes.
how to feel better fast
Most of what you'll find online is self-help theatre.
Long courses. 30-day resets. Apps that ask you to journal every morning forever. HappyMe was built by a practicing therapist for the opposite reason: to give you the exact tool you need, in the moment you need it, and let you get on with your day.
Why do I overthink?
“I keep replaying the same conversation.”
There's a name for the loop, and a way out of it. The Blame Game exercise interrupts the pattern.
What HappyMe isn't
We're not a meditation app.
We're the thing you reach for in your moment of need.
What you actually do
Proactive exercises.
Not another playlist.
HappyMe is built around doing, not listening. Each tool is a short, active practice a therapist would walk you through in session, adapted to work on your own, in the moment.
- Programmes for the things that bring people in.Anxiety. Sleep. Confidence. Overthinking. Each Programme is a curated sequence of lessons and exercises, not a 30-day commitment.
- Active tools, not passive content.Eye-movement exercises for emotional release. The Blame Game to interrupt self-criticism. Mood Maze to create space for yourself.
- Lessons that make sense of what your body is doing.Short, plain-English explanations of why you feel what you feel, written by a therapist, not a content team, or neuroscientist.
- Open it when you need to.No streaks. No daily goals. No notification guilt-trips. The app is most useful in the moment something hits. That's the whole design.

When you'd actually open it
The moments the app is built for.
HappyMe isn't a morning ritual. It's the thing you reach for when something specific is happening, and it leaves you in a better place than it found you.
02:47can't sleep
The 3am wake-up that won't go back to sleep.
Your body is done with the day. Your brain isn't. We have a wind-down sequence designed exactly for this, not a 40-minute sleep meditation that gives you more to fail at.
Wind-down reset · 6 min08:53before a meeting
That chest-tight feeling on a Monday morning.
Two minutes between you and the call. Box-breathing alone isn't enough, but a quick somatic reset is. Open the app, do one thing, walk in different.
Somatic reset · 2 min15:11can't switch off
The afternoon spiral after a hard conversation.
Replaying it on a loop. Picking apart every word. The Blame Game exercise interrupts the pattern, not by telling you to “let it go”, but by walking you through what's actually yours and what isn't.
The Blame Game · 4 min21:36numb / flat
The nothing-is-wrong-but-everything-is evening.
Not anxious. Not sad. Just… off. We don't try to fix it. We help you name it, sit with it, and find one small thing that shifts.
Am I in Shock? · 3 min Real reviews
The reviews aren't about progress.
They're about relief.
I'm not sure where to start. You and HappyMe have been so impactful on my life. It's like having a personal cheerleader in your pocket, ready to uplift you whenever you need it most.
★★★★★
I tried an eye-movement exercise for stress and was amazed at how effective it was. Clearly a well-researched app. The focus is on self-help, not just listening.
★★★★★
The first wellness thing I've stuck with, because it doesn't ask me to stick with it. I open it when I need to. That's the trick.

Our pledge
No pressure. Ever.
We built HappyMe because the apps you tried before made you feel like you were failing at being well. Not here.
i.
No streaks to break
Skip a day. Skip a month. We'll be here, same as before. No guilt-trip notification waiting.
ii.
No “fix yourself” routines
You're not broken. The tools meet a moment, they don't ask you to become someone new.
iii.
No goals. No graphs.
You'll never see a chart of how often you “should” have opened it. Progress isn't the point. Relief is.
iv.
No meditation guilt
If meditation works for you, great. If it doesn't, or makes you more anxious, you're not failing at wellness. You just need different tools.
