About Us:
Kooth is a fast-growing, mission-driven organisation transforming access to digital mental health support across the UK and US. Listed on the London Stock Exchange (AIM: KOO), our mission is to create welcoming, accessible spaces for personalised mental health care that helps young people thrive.
With 25 years of experience, Kooth has become a trusted leader in digital mental health, working alongside the NHS, government partners, and local communities to make high-quality support more accessible to young people.
Building on this foundation, we've expanded Soluna, our innovative digital mental health platform, across both the US and UK. First launched in California in 2024, Soluna has since expanded into New Jersey and Michigan. In September 2026, we reached another exciting milestone with the launch of Soluna by Kooth in the UK, bringing together our experience and innovation across both markets. Through professional mental health support, moderated peer communities, and self-guided tools, we're helping young people access the support they need, when they need it.
At Kooth, we're more than a digital mental health platform. We're purpose-driven, people-centred, and grounded in our values: Alongside You, Flexible, Compassionate, Committed, and Safe. If you're looking for meaningful work with measurable impact, you'll find it here.
