Feeling down, anxious, burned out, or struggling with other mental health challenges? Get instant unlimited access to live training sessions, a supportive community, and personal guidance. Build mental skills that can change your life.
Waiting times in mental health care can go up to as much as 6 months. Not in the right place? Just wait another 6 months.
Complaint oriented
You only get help after a diagnosis. Meanwhile, so many people could be helped preventively, so that a diagnosis would never even be necessary.
The cost
Do you want help without waiting times? Then you pay between 60 and 150 euros per 45 minutes for a psychologist or coach.
Max amount of sessions
Reached your max number of sessions, but still need therapy? Then you're out of luck!

Real people and real stories
Come and be supported by a growing number of fellow mental athletes
Hi Rico, I really want to thank you for your extraordinary work as a therapist. Your dedication, knowledge, and empathy make a huge difference in the lives of clients like me. You're a true master of your craft, and I'm grateful to have had you as my therapist. Thank you also for being there for me during difficult times, for supporting me and believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. Your support was key to my progress and to finding my balance again.
Anonymous
You're a kind, empathetic, and thoughtful guy, and you just get it, which makes it easier for me to understand it too. You've really been amazing, and I appreciate so much everything you've done for me. I'd love to give you a bouquet of flowers and a handshake, but I'll save that for if I ever run into you in real life.

Plan of approach
1
Use the guidance tool
Not sure which package suits you? Use the guidance tool and find out right away what the fastest path to recovery is.
2
Choose the right package
Choosing the right package is the most important step toward recovery. Still unsure after using the guidance tool? Schedule a free introductory meeting.
3
Attend the online training sessions
After choosing a package, you'll immediately receive the information you need to join the online group sessions. No time on a particular day? Then follow the e-learning or watch other sessions back in your own time.
4
Make use of the free extras
We invest in people who invest in themselves. If you take out a subscription for a quarter, you get access to a growing list of free extras.
5
Relapse prevention
Once you're done training, it's important to create a relapse prevention plan. This way, you'll have your own "first aid kit" ready in case symptoms ever increase again. You'll learn how to do this on our e-learning platform.
1. The Cogninova Guidance tool
Not sure which package suits you? Answer a few questions and we will point you at the one that fits. Nothing is saved and you do not need an account.

Free
Work on your symptoms yourself first.
E-learning
Do you want to get rid of your feelings of depression, anxiety, or other symptoms, but would you rather try to solve it yourself first? Sign up for our e-learning modules.
What does it involve?
With this e-learning, you'll work independently on your feelings of depression. You'll get access to all the materials and exercises from the group sessions, so you can work at your own pace. The approach is based on psychological research. You'll learn step by step what helps you feel better and how you can apply this yourself in your daily life. You'll get started with:
your thoughts, behavior, and habits
recognizing and changing negative thought patterns
building helpful routines and structure
increasing motivation and energy
Everything is clearly explained, with practical exercises you can apply right away. You work independently, whenever suits you, and in a way that fits you. The goal is that you learn how to help yourself — now and in the future.
Who is this suitable for?
This e-learning is suitable for people with feelings of depression who want to work on their recovery independently, at their own pace and in their own environment.
It’s a good fit for people who:
feel down, empty, or listless
experience less energy or motivation
struggle with negative thoughts or worrying
have trouble with structure and daily activities
are looking for practical tools to feel better
It’s also suitable if you:
prefer working independently rather than in a group or one-on-one setting
want to learn at times that suit you
want to work through exercises step by step
are open to new insights and willing to practice
It’s less suitable if you:
need direct personal guidance or contact
are in an acute crisis or need intensive treatment
struggle to motivate yourself without external support
In short: for people with feelings of depression who want to work on recovery independently, in a practical way.
Is having a community your top priority, and do you simply enjoy talking to people going through the same things as you? Then sign up for our Community.
What does it involve?
Community sits on top of the free e-learning and adds the people. Once a month there is a group call where you can talk to others working on the same things. Between the calls there is the community feed and the groups, and a weekly challenge to keep it moving. You get:
everything in the free e-learning
the monthly community group call
the community feed and the groups you can apply to join
a weekly challenge
It is the step between doing it entirely on your own and training live every week. Live training sessions are not part of this package — those start with The Mental Gym.
Who is this suitable for?
Community suits people who are getting on with the e-learning but would rather not do it in silence, and who want to hear from others going through something similar.
It’s a good fit for people who:
want contact with people dealing with the same things
are working through the e-learning and want somewhere to ask questions
like a nudge each week rather than an open-ended plan
want to see what the platform is like before committing to more
It’s less suitable if you:
want to train live every week — that is The Mental Gym
need one-to-one time with a coach
are in an acute crisis or need intensive treatment
What is the investment cost?

Motivated and getting started on your symptoms.
The mental gym
You're done with your symptoms, done waiting for help in mental health care, and you're ready to invest in yourself! Then sign up for the Mental Gym.
What does it involve?
The Mental Gym is a subscription format in which participants can take part in unlimited live training sessions focused on developing mental skills, such as dealing with stress, emotion regulation, self-confidence, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Through a selection quiz, participants receive a personalized learning path and train at their own pace, supported by an accountability group. The concept makes mental training flexible, accessible, and continuously available, without a fixed treatment program or waiting times.
Who is this suitable for?
The Mental Gym is suitable for people who want to actively work on their mental health and personal development. The program is intended for participants who want to learn or strengthen practical skills, such as dealing with stress, worrying, emotions, self-confidence, setting boundaries, and resilience. It's also suitable for people who need a low-threshold, flexible form of guidance, allowing them to join at any time and train at their own pace.
Pay quarterly, and you'll get access to all the extras, meaning you can even cancel your physical gym membership.
What is the investment cost?
€149/month

Everything in the Mental Gym, and a coach of your own alongside it. Nineteen private sessions, booked in the weeks you need one rather than dropped into a fixed slot — because a hard fortnight and a steady month do not need the same amount of anybody.
What does it involve?
Personal Training is the Mental Gym with someone walking next to you. You keep everything the subscription includes — the unlimited live training, the learning path, the community — and add nineteen private sessions you book when they would actually help. Some weeks that is two. Some weeks it is none, and that is not falling behind. A monthly check-in call keeps the whole thing pointed somewhere. Once the nineteen are used, six months of aftercare follow, and the Mental Gym carries on underneath the way it always did.
Who is this suitable for?
It suits people who want the flexibility of the Mental Gym and know they will also need somebody of their own to talk to. Booking sessions when they are needed rather than every Tuesday matters most when your weeks are not alike — a difficult stretch might take three, a settled month none at all. If what you want is a fixed programme with the same slot every week, this is honestly not it.
If you stick to the agreements discussed during the "personal action plan" and don't achieve the minimum results, then we'll assume that WE weren't able to offer you what you deserve. Get your full amount back (excluding the value of the extras used) and seek help from another coach, or let us help you with a referral to mental health care.
A training programme for your mind, run the way a gym is run: fixed weekly sessions, a structure to follow, and people doing it alongside you. You get online courses to work through at your own pace, live classes with a coach, homework your coach reads and responds to, and a community of other members.
When are the live classes?
+
There is a session every day at 19:30, each with its own theme — behavioural activation on Monday, self-image on Tuesday, emotion regulation on Wednesday, habits and discipline on Thursday, CBT on Friday, mindfulness on Saturday, and a Q&A on Sunday. The schedule on the home page is an example; the calendar inside the platform shows what is actually on.
What do I need to take part?
+
A phone, tablet or computer and an internet connection. The courses are video and written material you open in your browser, and the live classes run over a video call link you receive on the platform. Nothing needs installing.
Can I change or cancel my package?
+
Yes. You can move between packages from your billing page at any time, and the difference is worked out for the part of the period you have already paid for. Cancelling stops the next payment rather than cutting you off immediately — you keep access until the period you have paid for ends.
What happens to what I write here?
+
Your data is held in the European Union. What you write in the intake form and in worksheets is read by you and by the coach you actually work with — not by every member of staff, and not by anyone writing the course material. Nobody can edit what you wrote, including an administrator. The full detail is in the privacy statement.
Do you use cookies?
+
Only the ones that are strictly necessary to keep you signed in. There is no advertising or tracking, videos are embedded so that YouTube sets no cookie until you press play, and the one embedded booking tool only loads when you choose to load it. That is why there is no cookie banner.
