Fika

What a great idea. Online emotional and mental health support WHEN we need it rather than IF we can get an appointment. Whilst the NHS provides some excellent services, waiting times are often too long and this App gives a lot of help to keep the wolves at bay. As an Insomniac for over 40 years I have adopted the Breathe in 2 secs, breathe out 4 secs advice and it really works. So much that my FitBit records me asleep when doing these exercises! I love the calming voice that sends me to sleep and the option to read as well. Fika has all the hallmarks of becoming a household name and I expect it to extend well beyond the student community in years to come. Well done Fika.

I have found the Fika app really helpful and using it regularly has made a real positive impact on my life. It’s an app that gets you thinking and can help to change your mindset giving you a more positive approach to the day ahead and any challenges you may face. Not only is it great for your emotional fitness but it’s also really intuitive and easy to use.

I’ve been using FikA for a while now, and I’ve been integrating daily workouts into my routine. Not only does it allow you to take a time out, but it also helps to reflect on the past few days. The founders and ambassadors are kind and passionate about mental health and are always pushing a positive message- which is a plus! It helps put your experiences and your emotions into perspective while also basing workouts on psychological evidence
