Mental health - Support tools and treatment
We understand that mental health is as important as physical health. That's why we've given all members on Personal Healthcare, Business Healthcare and Corporate Health plans access to a range of mental health support.
We guide you to the right care
Our care starts with a simple online assessment - no referral required. This helps you understand what type of support you might need. This can range from 24/7 app-based support with our partner Wysa*, to online or face-to-face talking therapy from Vitality's clinical partners, if it's covered by your plan.
Choose the See my therapy options tab on Care Hub to get started.
For information on support options available to members under the age of 18, select the button at the bottom of this guide to learn more.
*The Wysa app is not available to Vitality at Work Enterprise members.
Self-care with Headspace
You can access Headspace’s mindfulness-based, mental well-being support straight away and at no extra cost. This includes their guided cognitive behavioural therapy based programmes for mood and anxiety, managing stress and finding your best sleep. Find more information on the Headspace page.
Getting the support you need
You don't need a GP referral to access talking therapy. However, if you have spoken to a GP and they have referred you to talking therapy or to see a psychiatrist, you will be able to claim for this through the Care Hub if it's covered by your plan. Choose the I have a GP referral for talking therapies option on the Care Hub to get started.

If you require day-patient or in-patient treatment for a mental health condition, please contact us to see how we can support further.
