Description

Welcome to Voda, your queer mental health companion.

Created by leading LGBTQIA+ psychotherapists, Voda combines leading psychotherapy expertise with AI to make mental wellbeing support more accessible, more inclusive and more intersectional.

No matter your gender, sexuality or relationship-diversity, Voda offers queer folks evidence-backed tools to move towards thriving and fulfilled lives. Our innovative offering includes daily AI advice, queer-led meditations, cognitive journaling and self-guided therapy programmes rooted in the lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community.

HOW DOES VODA WORK?
Voda is the daily mental health companion for LGBTQIA+ people.

Through Voda, you'll have access to:

Daily AI-Advice
Queer-Led Meditations
Cognitive Journaling Exercises
Guided Self-Therapy Programmes
Support for Trans and LGBTQ+ Individuals
Developed by Leading LGBTQIA+ Psychotherapists

Learn self-care, cultivate gratitude, manage stress & anxiety, and learn to queer-specific issues like coming out and gender dysphoria. Voda offers a fresh approach to address the challenges of living in a heteronormative and cisnormative society.

WHAT CAN I LEARN?
Unlock the power of self-guided therapy with evidence-backed therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness.

Voda is designed by an intersectional panel of leading queer psychotherapists and is backed by the latest research on LGBT+ therapy, counselling, and mental health.

IS VODA SAFE?
Your safety and privacy are our top priorities. We encrypt all cognitive journaling exercises to ensure they remain exclusively available to you. Rest assured, no data is shared with third parties.

Enough free options to be very useful

I am so impressed with the accessibility of this app. Please dont ever change it. Im trans, have experienced a lot of negative blowback from transitioning where i lost my partner, was made homeless and have some unsupportive family members. I don't have any money to spare and the free options in this app have been super helpful alongside other psychotherapy interventions I'm getting. Having enough free options to get help is something not many apps offer and Voda offers quite a bit. Please continue to create free content for LGBTQ+ people to use, I'm sure it saves lives! Its certainly a 5 star from me.

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for sharing, and for your kind words. We're grateful that Voda has been able to support you during such challenging times. We’re committed to maintaining accessible options within our app, and would love to also offer you a complimentary Voda+ subscription to provide you with additional support. Please send us a message at hello@voda.co, and we'll get you set up. Thank you again for your encouraging feedback—we're a queer-led team and this means a lot to us. Best, Jaron (he/him)

Incredible Insight

I’ve been using the app for a week and I’m still impressed with how insightful the advice is. It’s become part of my morning routine and then I can incorporate the recommendations into my day. Having a proactive approach during an unsettled time is helping my resilience while I wait for NHS services.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for sharing your experience with Voda. We're so glad that it's becoming part of your routine. Thank you for being a part of our journey!

Immediately deleted it

I immediately deleted this app because basically it only puts more pressure on. I had to interrupt a session and it warned me that if I interrupted it this session would not “count towards my progress”. I’m under enough pressure, I don’t need more of this gamefied nonsense where everything is just about earning badges and “achievements”. What the hell. Is there one place in the world I can go to where I don’t have to achieve something???

Developer Response ,

Hi there, thank you for your honest review. We’re very sorry that the progress tracking caused you frustration. That’s definitely not how we want our community to feel. It was designed with the intention to spur people to stay on track, but as you said it can bring undue pressure. It should instead gently say the session will be ready whenever you wish to return. I'll bring this up in our next product review meeting and I hope to improve this very soon. This helps us improve Voda and make it a relaxing, safe space which is our aim. I hope you can try us again next time once we have improved this aspect. - J x
