Smartphone and tablet apps can be a great way to support your therapy. Unfortunately they are often put together by software developers without any professional advice or scientific testing, which can make them useless, and even harmful.

At Mindspace Consulting, we test all the apps that we recommend to clients.

​

The following is a list of recommended apps, most of them are free and the others are relatively inexpensive.
