Why Fettle is Different

Other platforms give you options. We give you direction.

Most online platforms ask you to fill out a quiz and pick a therapist or psychologist. But when you're struggling, you may not even know what kind of help you need. Fettle gives you a free mental health concierge call — we listen, understand your situation, and guide you towards the right pathway: therapy, assessment, addiction support, couples counselling, psychologist, psychiatrist or specialist care, based on your needs, budget and urgency.

A real human guides you

No quiz. No algorithm. One of our mental health concierge specialists takes the time to understand what's going on, what support you may need, your preferences, your budget and the right next step for you.

Only Fettle does this in Ireland

Therapy, assessments & specialist pathways

Fettle helps you find the right route — whether that's therapy, counselling, CBT, couples support, addiction support, ADHD or autism assessment pathways, OCD support, trauma therapy, or another specialist service.

We signpost you to the right path
