Feel Better, Faster – with Sorted and Proven Positive Mental Training

The Sorted mental health app (formerly the Feeling good app) is used and accredited by the NHS - a mark of its effectiveness, safety and good function. The app is very easy to use, just plug in your earphones and play the audios to start feeling the positive benefits.

Discover the power of Positive Mental Training, a scientifically proven approach combining deep relaxation and goal-focused visualisation. Rooted in the latest neuroscience and Olympic sports coaching techniques, our app helps you build mental strength, resilience, and positivity – so you can thrive, not just cope.

A Unique, Upstream CBT Approach

Unlike traditional CBT that targets negative thinking, our upstream CBT (uCBT) method focuses on increasing positive emotions first, which in turn transforms thoughts and behaviours. By harnessing applied relaxation and powerful visualisations, you’ll experience meaningful, lasting change.

How it started:

Positive Mental Training was first used within the NHS for patients with low mood, stress and depression and we soon found that it was also being used by the doctors and nurses for their own benefit too. It can help with all life stresses, including burnout and sleep problems.

The tracks in Sorted began with the 12 track Positive Mental Training audio CDs, when Dr Alastair Dobbin, a GP and Dr Sheila Ross, a ancadapted a Swedish Olympic Sports performance programme, drawn to its positive self-development focus. Since then research has demonstrated its ability to build good psychological functioning, as well as recovery from depression and anxiety. The App is used within the NHS by staff and patients, in many colleges and universities for staff and students and recommended in Public Health England ‘Every Mind Matters’ campaign, for NHS health and social care staff across Scotland.

We are working on making the Sorted mental health app as accessible as possible so everyone can use the app. Our accessibility statement:
