Behind the scenes

The story behind WorryTree

The story behind WorryTree

WorryTree began after a conversation in the car with my husband, when I asked him if he thought my worrying had a negative impact on our life together and he said yes.

Although worry had been a constant friend and companion for longer than I could remember, it was the first time anyone had really called me out on it.

Naturally that conversation sent me into a tailspin of worry but it was enough to send me off to the Doctors and for the first time to admit that it might actually be a problem.

I was referred for a series of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) sessions.

Our WorryTree Manifesto

We've been thinking a lot lately at WorryTree HQ about our values and what we're trying to achieve by creating this app. We've created a simple Manifesto, which we think sums up what we're all about at WorryTree.

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Our WorryTree Manifesto

We believe in: 

Simplicity - WorryTree is designed to be a simple and effective way to control worry based on recognised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. We keep WorryTree's design simple so that you can focus on getting on with your day to day life. 

Service - Providing a reliable and responsive service is at the heart of everything we do at WorryTree. If you have a question or some feedback, we will always respond to you as soon as possible and we aim to involve as many users as we can in our future development. 

Encouragement - WorryTree was founded by worriers, for people who find themselves overwhelmed by worried and negative thoughts. We want users to feel encouraged and not alone when they are a part of the WorryTree community of users. 

Habit-change - We believe that we can all make practical day-to-day changes that will help us to form new habits and that recording and problem solving your worried thoughts on a regular basis will help you to re-train your thought patterns and take control of worry.
