We recommend that you read the guidance on use in the setting tab, before listening to the tracks.How it startedThe tracks in Feeling Good for Life started out as audio CDs, when Dr Alastair Dobbin, a GP and Dr Sheila Ross, a health promotion specialist, teamed up.
They wanted to help people build good mental health and so adapted a Swedish Olympic Sports performance programme, drawn to its positive self-development focus, rather than a clinical illness-based approach.
Since then research has demonstrated its ability to build positive emotions and good psychological functioning, as well as recovery from depression and anxiety.
The App is used in the NHS by staff for their own benefit as well as their patients and recommended in Public Health England ‘Every Mind Matters’ campaign.We are working on making the Feeling Good App as accessible as possible so everyone who wants to can use the app.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"This is a great app for helping manage anxiety and depression. daily sessions help reprogramme your thinking in a positive way. You can set daily reminders and there are different areas to help tackle personal issues. You can choose the voice and music style that best suits you. It has made a huge difference to me."
Amanda Burton
"This is NOT the dr Burns feeling good app. You are being scammed"
Eric Medlock
"Syndical at first but this app is truly awesome. I suffered a heart attack a couple of years ago and during my recuperation I was recommended the use of this app to help me relax and address anxiety. This is a wonderful tool, which I use religiously as and when I feel the need to regain a positive mental attitude. I'd recommend giving this app a really good try. Keep at it and you, and others, will notice improvement. I'm so pleased I have this mental first aid kit to hand."
Grant McNaughton
"My big gripe with this is that the voice is telling me to do something, but it just keeps on speaking so I can't actually focus on the things they are telling me to do, and instead focus on the voice. Am I meant to pause in between or something? I can't multitask. I guess this is only for people who can multitask."
Shah Mahfuz Ali
"Of all the apps I've tried this is the one that works time after time for me. Used it for a couple of years."
Jackie Renwick
"I'm grateful to the developers and those who provided the content, however I think the app should be re -voiced. The speakers don't sound natural and unfortunately this is off-putting."
Jake Fenton
"Amazing, I have used the app for over a year and keep coming back to it, so relaxing that I always fall asleep! So effective at removing stress and anxiety and requires very little time commitment. Defo worth paying for the full version."
Tom Staton
"Very helpful . At first I found the voices strange but after a few sessions I settled for Shiela and now it really relaxes me. I did practise Buddhist meditation on and off and this is very similar. What I like to cultivate is calm and detachment, but not indifference, as my moods are switched around far too much by my emotions."
MailArtMartha
"Decided not to use this quickly."
Android Nigel
"I found this app invaluable it has really helped me. Having suffered anxiety & depression for many years. I've had CBT but found the app far more helpful. At first I used it 3 or 4 times a day and noticed an improvement in 2 weeks but continued and glad I did. practicing mindfulness is very helpful and now I do not have such unpleasant physical symptoms from anxiety. I would recommend giving it a try but you need to do it daily to feel real benefit. Then select the audios that you find helpful."
